Content House Limited has appointed Matthew Spiteri, the Group’s Director of Sales & Business Development as Senior Partner. Mr Spiteri has been with the company for close to 11 years, where he was first employed as an ad sales executive. He has spent his entire career in sales and business development in the media industry, gaining extensive experience in print, online and radio. 

Following his role as an ad sales executive, Mr Spiteri was promoted to line manager, onto Head of Sales Department and in 2018, he was again promoted, to Director of Sales & Business Development. He has now been appointed Senior Partner in the next stage of his journey with Content House.

The company provides its sales team with wide-ranging opportunities, having one of the largest sales and development departments in the local media industry serving the 20+ brands under Content House.

One of two Managing Directors at Content House, Jesmond Bonello, remarked that “Matthew’s appointment is a clear reflection of the company’s culture.” 

“First and foremost, we promote on the basis of competence and merit. Secondly, our philosophy is to promote from within. To date, in 15 years, we have never employed a senior member of our management team from outside the company but have always chosen to promote from within. And we can promote from within because we invest heavily in training, nurturing and giving opportunity to our staff.” 

“Our policy is to let people grow, career wise, in management, in confidence and financially. This is a culture that continues to give us the right results. People staying with us for long years, becoming an integral part of our growing family.” 

Turning to the outlook for the media industry in Malta for 2020, Mr Bonello commented that in his view, it is very positive. 

“The opportunities are great and if you are organised, structured and invest in the right set-up and resources, you will yield results. Today we are a growing team of over 35 professionals operating over 20 successful media brands in different genres predominantly in both print and online.”
