Evan Balafas
Director, Excite Digital Media

Managing Director of Excite Digital Media, Evan Balafas is accountable for global operations that continue to drive and grow the vast Excite Digital Media Search Network, and extensive ‘Search’ services.

Evan’s 10+ years of Sales and Business Development in the search space make him a well connected pioneer in today’s Mount Everest of online marketing.

During his previous role as National Sales Manager for Sensis, Evan was pursued for General Manger at Searchtown (a division of Ansearch).

Evan resisted head-hunters due to his critical role in the launch of two major projects; www.sensis.com.au, and the world's first SMS based advertising product, originating from 1234 Call Connect.

Prior to Sensis, Evan was NSW Sales Manager for Australia’s most enterprising Search Engine Company LookSmart.

Evan managed a portfolio of accounts representing over $7.25 million in annual revenue for Looksmart; considered the leading authority in Cost-Per-Click (CPC) advertising (before the Australian operations were purchased by Sensis).

Today, Evan directs his own myriad of e-commerce initiatives spanning the major global markets.

Harnessing a wealth of industry contacts and entrepreneurial ideas, Evan established a cutting edge Search Agency that within 3 years of operation was recognised by BRW as one of “Australia’s Fastest Growing Companies”, featured in 2009’s Fast Starters.

A multinational enterprise generating over 10M in annual turn-over is testament to the professional relationships, ideas, and execution that comprise Excite Digital Media Pty Ltd.
