Sarah Hassanin
Name: Sarah Hassanin (Also known as The Assassin and Slow Loris - to name 2 of about a hundred nicknames)   History with online media: 10 years in media sales including Bauer, MI9, TVN and now Videology. I took a brave and exciting step into the media technology space in January 2013 leading Videology's Australian expansion My mission at Videology:... To make TV even more sexy! My goal is to help advertisers understand how content is discovered by audiences across all screens and then work with them to develop a strategy that is underpinned by technology, data and creativity, in order to achieve maximum value and return   Digital trend I'm most excited about: As the boundaries begin to blur between screens I am excited about how TV is evolving. 25 years ago TV was a one way mainstream medium that was militantly scheduled. Now TV is becoming a highly personalised experience, where audiences can engage with rich content on any device, wherever they are Brand whose marketing I admire: Nike, Virgin Mobile and Coke Favourite digital campaign of all times: Tricky one to pick... One of my favourite was Lynx's  "Choose your own ending" mini movie, featuring Neil from The Inbetweeners. Just genius  Digital tool/gadget I cannot live without: Has to be my iPhone and whatsapp - I am addicted!   If I wasn't working in digital, I would be: a travel show researcher (Well if I didn't have a lottery win, I would be a travel show researcher) - get paid to travel the world with a vino hand - perfect! Otherwise I would work for a childrens charity, making big corporate companies cough up their profits to affect positive changeSarah Hassanin – Commercial Director, Videology Australia & NZ Sarah has successfully launched a number of digital businesses in Australia and won the trophy Digital Services Company of the year for her work in establishing APAC’s largest digital broadcast advertising network.
