Outdoor media specialist oOh!media has appointed Georgie Fox head of digital sales to lead a newly created programmatic sales team.
Fox joins from IPG Mediabrands’ addressable media agency, Matterkind, where as head of investment and partnerships she oversaw the management of publisher and supply technology relationships across channels including video/BVOD, display, audio, digital OOH and native.
In the first major appointment by Paul Sigaloff, oOh!’s chief revenue and growth officer who joined earlier this year, Fox will support sales teams to enable advertisers to harness the growing programmatic portfolio.
She will also leverage oOh!’s agreement with Unpacked by Flybuys and partnership with Westpac DataX, which taps into consumer behaviour across more than 12 million customers across 800 buyer segments.
“A significant element of oOh!’s digital transformation is programmatic, and the appointment of Georgie and a dedicated programmatic sales team will set us up for continued growth," says Sigaloff.
"We’ve scaled our supply and are investing in additional resources to ensure that 2024 will be a transformative one for oOh’s clients in pDOOH.
“Georgie is a programmatic specialist, bringing new digital skills that complement oOh!’s core business to meet the demands of advertisers and agencies that operate in this space. I’m delighted to welcome her to oOh! and look forward to working with her and the team as we continue to accelerate oOh!’s programmatic offering.”
She will also be oOh!’s representative on IAB Australia’s Digital OOH working group and the Outdoor Media Association’s programmatic working group.
“The programmatic opportunities for advertisers and brands in OOH advertising are significant and will only increase alongside technological advancements," says Fox.
"As the market leader, oOh! has ambitious plans to leverage its national digital Out of home network and strong data and insights capabilities to offer improved targeting to make brands unmissable and I look forward to building a team of digital specialists to accelerate oOh!’s programmatic sales offering.”
