Webedia is a media-tech company and one of the world's leading players in online entertainment: content production, influence, and distribution across all platforms.

In 2022, Webedia, a leading player in lifestyle, entertainment, food and video games, chose to create a vertical dedicated to sport.

To bring Webedia Sports to life around a media, consulting and activation offer, Webedia called on us to recruit an entire sales team: Director of Development, Head of Development and Marketing Project Manager.

As a recruitment firm dedicated to organisations around the world, we supported Webedia in launching its new Webedia Sports vertical, recruiting an entire sales team thanks to our Talent Recruiters team.

By combining Webedia's expectations for the profiles to be recruited with our expertise as a recruitment firm specialised in the sports industry, we quickly identified that the ideal profiles would come from a dual media and sport background. This would give them both an understanding of the power of Webedia's digital ecosystem and of sports sponsorship and partnership mechanics, enabling them to speak to both rights holders and advertisers with 360 communication solutions. We therefore focused our search on profiles combining this dual media and sponsorship expertise with strong sales skills.

Thanks to precise sourcing work and after proactively contacting nearly 100 people, we shortlisted 11 profiles who were presented to Webedia for the 3 positions to be filled (Director of Development, Head of Development and Marketing Project Manager).

Webedia Sports' entire sales team was built!
