Portland, Ore. (April 24, 2014) – Golf Media Network (GMN), parent company of The A Position has appointed Jim Whittemore as its first Chief Operating Officer, Director of Sales. Whittemore will be responsible for promoting GMN’s portfolio of media offerings including The A Position.com; Golf Road Warriors (an integrated multi-platform travel program); and The Grain, an electronic magazine distributed to more than 2 million readers seven times per year.
Whittemore comes to Golf Media Network most recently from his role as National Sales Director for Global Golf Post, where he worked for five years. He is also president of The Whittemore Group, which has provided management, sales, marketing and media related services to top clients in the golf industry.
GMN Managing Partner Jeff Wallach says, “We’ve been building Golf Media Network for five years and one piece has always been missing: a sales pro and operating officer with the chops-and the contacts-to bring our great products to the best brands in the industry. Our portfolio of media products now reaches more than two million golfers, and with Jim’s help we’ll extend that reach to new clients. ”
Whittemore adds, “I’ve always admired the great content produced by the writers and videographers at Golf Media Network. My new task is to pair the best brands with the best writing, commentary, and video about the sport we all love and follow, across all of our platforms.”
