Press Release: grabaseat

Air New Zealand’s grabaseat.co.nz website has appointed Trade Me’s advertising sales team to manage its existing advertising placement programme on the grabaseat website from 1 August 2010. Grabaseat is Air New Zealand’s hugely popular “daily deals” website and enjoys a massive following among New Zealanders.

The move to appoint Trade Me sees grabaseat become the second external website (joining interest.co.nz) to have its advertising exclusively sold by the Trade Me team. Trade Me’s network of sites also includes the main auction site together with Trade Me Jobs, Trade Me Motors, Trade Me Property, Travelbug, Holiday Houses, FindSomeone and Old Friends.

Yael Milbank, Trade Me’s head of advertising, said he was proud to have his team representing grabaseat.co.nz.

“We’ve built up a real strength in online display advertising sales over the past three years, and we’re looking forward to putting that to work for grabaseat. It’s a fantastic opportunity and our team here at Trade Me is over the moon.”
