I am CEO of a pioneering media company that fills a unique position in the Out Of Home landscape taking the medium Beyond Out of Home. Specialising in large-format digital super-premium locations. In 2017 we start upgrading Piccadilly Lights, the worlds most famous advertising location. The Ocean Group now consists of two unique businesses ,Ocean & Signature. Our findings from neuroscience look at the strength of brain response to digital and spectacular Out of Home advertising and the last data release proves how essential Digital Out Of Home is for maximising engagement levels of content consumed on mobile screen devices Ocean's success has been a result of a meticulous search for the best Outdoor advertising locations across the UK and focussing on attracting new advertisers to the sector. Practising ‘The Art of Outdoor’ we focus on a products unique qualities. One of our most iconic locations is the IMAX. (see below) We were very proud in late 2016 to extend our relationship with Westfield and we now operate large format digital screens across Westfield London , Westfield Stratford and we are developing new iconic screen locations to fit with the Westfield London expansion in 2018. Our teamwork across all disciplines consistently picks up industry awards and accolades. Testament to Ocean's unique mix of location, brand & tech underpinned with a culture of Freedom, Passion, Quality and Enterprise. We acquired Signature in 2014 and it has doubled in size and expanded into Manchester with unique classic and digital out of home products for Birmingham and Manchester City councils. Having spent 25+ years in TV, Radio and OOH Advertising I'm enjoying helping to build the medium of Digital Out Of Home. I specialise in Media brand building and turnarounds. We have taken the Group through 3 phases of investment within the Private Equity arena including Searchlight Capital who are supporting us through our third phase plans. And I still find it fun.
