US-based Harris Interactive Service Bureau (HISB) has appointed former e-Rewards/Research Now sales leader Brent Tarver as Associate Vice President of Sales.

HISB is a separate operating division of Harris Interactive, and specializes in providing online consumer sample and expertise in mixed-mode data collection, along with online programming, survey design and management, sampling and analysis. In June, the division launched a sample-only offering called ‘Get Sample!’, to provide researchers with access to respondents from parent firm Harris Interactive’s panels and real-time respondents from preferred partners.

Tarver joins from e-Rewards/Research Now, where he worked for more than 12 years, and most recently served as Sales Manager, West Coast End Users. Prior to this, he was Strategic Accounts Director at JupiterResearch.

In his new role, reporting to HISB VP Rob Rocco, Tarver will focus on expanding HISB's client roster and deepening its current client relationships through new offerings. He will specifically target clients based on the West Coast.

Rocco comments: ‘Tarver is an accomplished sales producer with years of experience in building and motivating highly effective sales teams, engaging new client relationships and delivering go-to-market strategies that achieve results. The HISB sales leadership team will greatly benefit from his experienced insight into effective sales programs and results focused management.’
