Lawrence Upped To SVP/Sales, iHeart JAX

• iHeartMedia has elevated Stacey Lawrence to Senior Vice President of Sales for the company’s Jacksonville, FL group. Lawrence brings to her new role over 23 years of media marketing experience, the last two and a half years as VP of Sales for iHeart Jacksonville.

Lawrence reports to Paul Rogers, Area President for iHeartMedia North Florida, who noted, “I took a long time to evaluate our team — including our management team — when I joined the market in March of last year. I wanted to see our team in action, to learn their values and their work ethic, and observe their commitment to our team, our customers and to iHeart. Stacey flat-out earned it, and her strong working relationship with [VP of Digital Sales] Brooke Adams is going to be crucial and what takes us over the top.”

Lawrence spent the first 14 years of her career in New York City with Hibu (formerly YellowBook USA), was a 9-time President’s Club Winner, and as Regional Sales Manager successfully launched major metro markets from NYC, Atlanta, Ft. Lauderdale, and Jacksonville. She later transitioned to broadcast television in Jacksonville, first with Gannett as a Digital Sales Manager and then with Graham Media’s WJXT, rising toLocal Sales Manager.

“I’m thrilled to step into my new role with this incredible team in Jacksonville,” said Lawrence. “Although I’ve been with iHeartMedia less than three years, it did not take me long to realize this was where I belonged, with a forward-thinking company that is customer-centric at its core. The Jacksonville market is exploding and I plan on leading this team to their fullest potential. I look forward to making a difference in our community and helping businesses achieve their marketing goals through our world-class, multi-channel offerings.”
