After a performance that could be compared to stalling in 2017, StopPress sits down with APN Outdoor chief executive James Warburton, and general manager for New Zealand Mike Watkins, to hear how APN Outdoor is tracking financially, approaching the digital rollout and where they see the industry heading in the future.
APN Outdoor is joining forces with the New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) as an official partner of the New Zealand Olympic and Commonwealth Games teams through to 2020.
Marketers have called loudly for a trustworthy form of measurement in outward advertising, and APN Outdoor has answered this request with a new system, called Calibre. We talk to APN Outdoor general manager Mike Watkins about why this is what marketers have been waiting for.
A common criticism often levelled at the outdoor advertising industry is that it lacks a single form of measurement to be applied across all providers. But APN Outdoor is looking to change that with a launch of a tool.
In the past week, both Adshel and APN Outdoor have announced another phase in their digital expansion.
Social@Ogilvy has been “reinvigorated” with Mike Watkins now heading up the agency and Oliver Maisey jumping on board as executive creative director.
