Jason Taylor, The Honolulu Advertiser's vice president for sales, has been named Gannett Co.'s advertising executive of the year.

Taylor, who was named to his new post last September, won the company's prestigious President's Ring for outstanding achievement and finished first among advertising executives at the company's 90 daily newspapers.

Last year, Taylor was named one of 13 award-of-excellence winners among Gannett Co.'s retail and classified advertising managers. Taylor also won Gannett's Chairman's Award for contributions to the company and potential for future contributions.

He joined The Advertiser in 2004 as retail ad director and was promoted to advertising director a year later. Before joining the paper in 2004, Taylor was the general manager for The Times in Gainesville, Ga., and the director of advertising and marketing of The Daily News Journal in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
