New agreement represents an ongoing partnership as the businesses join forces to identify areas of opportunity within the moving digital landscape
Yahoo7 will become the sales rep for display and programmatic advertising across the Sensis network following a competitive tender process.
Yahoo7 director of business development and partnerships, Jonathan Steel, said the business is focused on partnering with companies that share its vision for growth and will give Yahoo7 the chance to showcase its market leading national sales team and programmatic prowess across desktop, tablet and mobile sites.
“Sensis houses some iconic brands going through a key period of transformation and whilst ad representation is the first step in our partnership, we are excited about what the future holds,” he said. “This new collaboration with Sensis will provide significant opportunities aligned to our strategy to drive growth across mobile, video, native and social.”
The partnership comes following Sensis’ transformation into a predominantly digital business, moving away from its heritage as a traditional directory service to meet the speed and demand of today’s competitive market.
Sensis’ digital brands include Yellow Pages, White Pages, Truelocal, Whereis and Skip. The Sensis digital agency, Found, gives businesses a competitive edge through websites, data, search engine marketing and optimisation.
“Sensis has transformed into the number one marketing services company in Australia and Yahoo7 will be an important partner in our ongoing digital evolution,” Sensis commercial director, Robert Tolliday, said. “There are so many opportunities with new technologies, which is where this partnership will allow us to take full advantage of the moving digital landscape."

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
