oOh! CEO, Brendon Cook said with the integration of EYE Corp now complete and the recent addition of exciting new products including some of the most advanced digital offerings, oOh! was now strongly placed to attack the market share of other mediums.
“Peter and Phil will be joining John O’Neill to give oOh! one of the strongest sales leadership teams in media,” Mr Cook said.
“We are confident that through our market leadership, coupled with our great team of sales professionals and our unique capability to connect advertisers with growing audiences while they are away-from-home, we will continue to drive the overall growth of the industry.
“Our portfolio of high performing traditional OOH media, combined with the broadest array of digital environments and a cache of newly created technology engagement products, ensures we own world leading OOH audience delivery and engagement solutions.
“Our recent world-first campaign for Google in the airport environment highlighted the amazing mix of products, technology and research we have developed to demonstrate and improve the power of outdoor for new and existing clients."
