Anthony Saines
Anthony Saines - Commercial Director Contact

I have the pleasure of managing this very smart team of internet advertising professionals. My role is to clear obstacles, provide strategic direction and (hopefully) encourage a culture of fun and achievement.

And if I’m honest my job is a relatively simple one - I try to get out of the way. This is a team that knows what it wants and how to get it.

Prior to joining Carsales.com Ltd in 2008, I’d held a number of senior roles in the Australian online advertising industry. This is definitely the best of them.

I was originally a native of the UK before becoming a happy Sydneysider for a decade and am now a contented Melburnian.  


Carl Davies
Carl Davies - Sales Director (Northern States) Contact

As Sales Director, I have the privilege of leading the MediaMotive team across NSW and Queensland as we continue to grow and mature as a business. My responsibilities incorporate all Sales and Ad operations in those states.

My day to day role involves working with the senior team to make sure we are servicing our advertising agency partners efficiently from both a sales and delivery perspective. I also spend a lot of time liaising with agency directors and key stakeholders on future strategies and ‘best practice’ whilst keeping up with industry news and developments. Essentially, I make sure we are providing the right solutions to each agency, solutions that are relevant to the current media climate and matched to the agencies style.

I'm passionate about Media in general and have worked across print, TV and digital in my 13 years in Media sales. Outside work I enjoy spending time with my children, playing golf, watching football, movies and going to the gym.

I live in Bondi in Sydney with my partner and I have two sons.


Penny Kee
Penny Kee - Sales Director (Southern States) Contact
As Sales Director (Southern States) my role involves ensuring that as a team we deliver innovative solutions, fantastic market intelligence and most importantly service that is second to none for VIC, SA, TAS and WA. On a day to day basis I try to keep abreast of all the new products, opportunities and the media landscape so I can have a rounded view of the industry thus enabling me to understand my clients strategies and how we can support these.

Prior to joining carsales I had a fantastic time living in London for 6 years where I worked in various digital roles most recently with AOL’s Platform A. Most importantly I found my amazing British husband who I dragged kicking and screaming from the gloom of London to the sunny shores of Australia.

Least favourite saying, ”Good things come in small packages”... at 6’2 ½ tell me what does that mean? Well maybe don’t tell me…

The team delivers across all facets of Product Development from concept and design through to implementation, delivery and reporting.

I started my digital career in the UK in hosting and streaming some 18 years ago. I then moved to BBC Technology managing client projects for digital broadcasting and live streaming. Since moving to Australia I have continued in the online media business working for Sensis MediaSmart in online advertising and I am now here at Carsales helping deliver complex and relevant advertising solutions.

Sayeed Samar - Digital Designer (VIC) Contact

I joined the MediaMotive Melbourne team as a Digital & Multimedia designer in September 2012. I have over 7 years of experience in the digital design field. My role involves banner ad design, microsite and website design, UI/UX design and many other creative designs. I am a very dedicated digital designer with a strong passion for all things design related.

I love to travel and so far Spain is my favourite place. I'd definitely love to go back to Europe as there is so much more to see and do. I enjoy watching football and occasionally watch the Spanish league if I can stay up late or wake up early enough to watch. My team is Barcelona. There is also nothing quite like having a good time with friends over a few drinks and some music beats.

As a Campaign Manager in the Sydney Ad Operations team my role is to manage, traffic and optimize the advertising campaigns of our agency accounts.

 

I have been in the industry for the past 5 years, having worked across Ad Operations for both small and major publishers in Australia.

I am a Taiwanese-New Zealander. I lived in Auckland for 14 years with my family. I completed my tertiary studies at the University of Auckland majoring in Marketing and E-commerce. I then decided to move across the ditch to Sydney to pursue a new exciting lifestyle. It has been 6+ years since and I have to say I still love the city. 

 

I enjoy spending my leisure time going to the beaches, shopping, and most importantly dining out and tasting a myriad of good foods around town. I am also passionate about the web, design and photography. I love to travel and enjoy the chance to experience all of the above in different parts of the world.

I joined MediaMotive as an Ad Operations Executive within the Melbourne Ad Operations team in late 2012. My role primarily involves ad serving and campaign management (ad trafficking, optimisation and reporting) across the Carsales Auto Network; working closely with the Campaign Managers and Sales Coordinators.

Prior to working with MediaMotive, I spent a year and half at Kidspot as a trafficker/campaign executive. I've also spent 5 years with perfumeconnection.com.au working in various roles for their online retail shop. Still relatively new to online media advertising, I’m eager to learn and absorb as much knowledge from the group of talented and driven people at MediaMotive.

Originally from Malaysia, I came to Australia in early 00s for uni and have stayed back for work ever since. On a personal note, I love spending time with my family & friends and of course anything to do with food.
