CNET: AOL promotes ad chief from within

AOL named Lisa Brown as executive vice president of interactive marketing to oversee the company's advertising sales. Brown, who joined AOL in 2002 as the executive vice president of its marketing strategy and solutions group, succeeds Robert Sherman, who retired from AOL last week.

Although an AOL representative last week told Reuters that Sherman sees the company's advertising as being on the "right track," Brown will still face tough times trying to boost advertising sales.
