Ocean Outdoor Limited
("Ocean" or the "Company" or the "Group")
Ocean Outdoor appoints senior Mediacom executive to strengthen
its UK leadership team
Phil Hall joins from MediaCom UK as co-managing director in a
move which also heralds senior internal appointments
Ocean Outdoor Limited (LON: OOUT), a leading operator of premium
Digital Out-of-Home ("DOOH") advertising in the United Kingdom and
the Netherlands, has introduced a new leadership structure to
manage its UK business as the Group expands into continental
Europe.
The changes support a new Ocean Group structure, with the UK
division led by the appointment of new co-managing directors.
Ocean has hired Phil Hall, chief commercial strategy officer of
Mediacom, who joins as co-managing director UK. Hall will work
alongside newly promoted co-MD Steve George who is currently chief
development officer. They will take joint responsibility for the UK
business.
Hall, who departs UK's leading media agency MediaCom after an 18
year stint, will oversee Ocean's UK commercial operations. Steve
George takes responsibility for the franchise and development
functions in the UK. The MDs will lead the UK operating group,
reporting to Ocean's Group unit.
The new leadership team allows Ocean COO and CFO Stephen Joseph
and CMO Richard Malton to assume Group wide roles as the company
assimilates its recent Dutch acquisitions and steps up its
international growth ambitions.
Ocean CEO Tim Bleakley said: "It's been a pivotal few months in
which management has overseen both our launch as a public company
and three strategic acquisitions. Our entry into the mainland
Europe market is testament to the strength of the Ocean brand and
the growing international demand for Ocean's unique DOOH
formula.
"However, UK growth remains a key part of our plans and Phil
brings a wealth of experience and insight that will help us and the
industry evolve at what is an exciting stage for the digital
out-of-home medium. His media pedigree and standing alongside Steve
George's proven entrepreneurial talent is an exciting leadership
axis."
Phil Hall said: "I've had a fantastic time at MediaCom, working
alongside some brilliant colleagues to build a world-class
business. My roles have been varied and fulfilling and I'll miss
the work and the people. I've always considered digital out-of-home
to be a medium of huge interest and benefit to clients, with even
greater potential, particularly with the rapid advancements in
technology. I've long admired the product and especially the team
at Ocean and the chance to play a significant part in their
continued growth is an opportunity I can't resist. I'm really
looking forward to the challenge and to help Ocean build on their
impressive success to date."
Joining Hall and George on the UK operations group board will be
chief revenue officers James Harrison and Nick Shaw; Catherine
Morgan, director of Ocean's rapidly expanding creative technology
and innovation division Ocean Labs; Joseph Arshed, who becomes
chief asset and contracts officer; Marc Keenan MD Ocean Scotland;
newly promoted head of UK finance Kapil Kansara; Angela Green, head
of commercial systems; head of UK marketing and events Helen
Haines; and technical operations director John Kilfeather.
