Sales Force In-House
–Microsoft Network’s Sidewalk, the local online directory service, is bringing its advertising sales force in-house.
Since its launch in March of 1997, Sidewalk’s ad sales have been handled by CUC, a consumer services provider that later merged with hotel finance company HFS to become Cendant Corp.
“Bringing the force in-house means we’ll be closer to our advertising customers and able to respond more quickly to their needs,” said Peter Atkins, Sidewalk’s general manager of advertising, sales and marketing.
