Lisa Berrian has been named advertising director of The Daily Iberian, said publisher Will Chapman.

Berrian has worked previously in advertising sales and sales management for The Ledger-Enquirer in Columbus, Ga., and The Telegraph in Macon, Ga., both owned by the McClatchy newspaper company. She started in the newspaper business as an intern while in college at the University of Georgia, then went to work full time as a display sales representative in Macon in 1988.

Berrian was promoted to posts of more responsibility several times, including retail advertising manager, niche-online manager, advertising manager, advertising director and vice-president of advertising.

She and her husband, Robert, are now living in New Iberia.

“We were fortunate to find someone with Lisa’s great experience and outstanding credentials to lead our advertising sales efforts. She’s already offered several ideas I’m sure will be popular with local advertisers,” Chapman said.
