oOh!media's chief customer officer David Scribner is leaving aftre two years at the company.
The outdoor media group didn't disclose Scribner's next move other than to say he will "pursue new senior opportunities".
Scribner says his decision was not an easy one.
"I loved the fact that I was working in out-of-home, that I was part of the evolution of the medium and that I worked with a great team in a good business,” he says.
“However, I recognised that the time had come to move on, as there was not much more that I could contribute to the business in this current environment.”
oOh! CEO Brendon Cook says Scribner had successfully raised all areas of client understanding during his tenure, and driven a customer-centric culture in how the company operated.
“David established a fantastic foundation for our customer focused approach in the business and, as a result of his infectious passion for out-of-home, inspired many colleagues on the powerful medium it can be for delivering ROI and brand outcomes to clients,” Cook says.
“With the advent of COVID-19, the executive team has been doing a deep dive review of the business to determine our current and future needs.
“In that process it was evident from the work of David and others that we had all the right pieces in all the right places to deliver a customer focused offering to Australian advertisers and agencies.
“It also became clear to both David and I that we needed to realign our business structure to cater for future requirements, and that the chief customer officer role moving forward would not provide David with the professional fulfilment he wanted, nor would it deliver significantly to business growth.
“David agreed that it was best for both him and the business that he stepped aside, leaving behind a legacy that included his significant contribution to the Adshel integration, the refocus of our themes for the future, and the tireless work to ensure the business is COVID fit.
“We wish to thank him for his high-quality contribution, and wish him the best for the future.”
