Marnie PattleLooks like Microsoft Advertising Canada is back in growth mode, you might recall at the tail end of last year the company laid off 100 sales reps globally, and based on our insider connection under 5 here in Toronto. It certainly was not a time to celebrate, but that was then and recently the company has announced that Sarah Cotton and Marnie Pettle have joined the organization as Ad Solution Specialists.

Sarah CottonWith more than 15 years in media sales, Sarah Cotton most recently held a position with Rogers Media where she worked closely with the broadcast, publishing, and digital teams to create and execute award-winning, multi-platform programs. Prior to Rogers, Sarah held positions with Bell Media, Transcontinental Media and Warrillow & Company.

Marnie comes to Microsoft from Olive Media, where her role of Sales Solutions Team Lead included the management of idea generation, strategic planning and program execution, as well as the implementation of digital education programs for clients and partners. Prior to Olive, Marnie held positions with Mindshare and CU Advertising.

Both Sarah and Marnie will report into Patty DeMarco, Sales Director, Microsoft Advertising & Online Canada.
