Audacy Unveils Sports Sales Team

Audacy, the unrivaled leader in sports Audio – reaching two times more people than its leading competitor – announces a new sales and enablement team dedicated to accelerating growth within the Company’s sports vertical by deepening Audacy partnerships and creating scalable opportunities for advertisers.

The team, led by Audacy veteran Lee Davis, is charged with developing high-value, high-return programs leveraging the power of Audacy’s sports platform across its broadcast, streaming, podcasting, and wagertainment properties. Under Davis’ leadership, the team will be responsible for sales and execution, managing the entire client lifecycle.

“No medium delivers more value for sports than Audio. People are spending more time than ever with broadcast Radio, streaming and podcasts, and the demand for compelling sports content across these channels is growing exponentially,” said Brian Benedik, Chief Revenue Officer, Audacy. “Through our best-in-class sports audio portfolio, powered by over 150 flagship team partnerships, iconic local broadcast brands, award-winning podcasts and sports betting content, Audacy is uniquely positioned to capitalize on a new sales strategy in this arena.”

Reporting to Bob Philips, President of Audacy Networks and Multi-market Sales, Davis will serve as Audacy’s Senior Vice President for the team. A deeply tenured media leader, Davis re-joined Audacy in 2018 to lead the reboot of TWIN's on-air content and Ad Operations teams. From 1990 to 2005, Davis was key in building WFAN into America’s No. 1 sports radio station, overseeing local and national sales, programming and marketing, helping shape it into the highest-grossing station in the country.

Audacy is assembling a team under Davis and he will partner closely with the company’s local market sports leaders across the portfolio.
