Ocean signs exclusive contract with Southampton City Council

 

 

Ocean Outdoor Limited (LSE: OOUT), a leading operator of premium Digital Out-of-Home ("DOOH") advertising in the United Kingdom, is pleased to announce that it has secured an exclusive long-term contract with Southampton City Council to provide the city with enhanced digital roadside, city centre large format advertising screens.

 

Under the terms of the 10-year contract opportunity, the Company will upgrade and develop all of the Council's existing and new roadside billboards within the city centre, giving advertisers access to the fastest growing and most affluent city in the prime Meridian region. The advertising screens will serve to grow Southampton City Council's revenues, drive environmental standards through targeted public information messages and improve the city's aesthetics.

 

Delivering on its objective to provide a compelling and impactful network of national urban audiences for advertisers, Southampton marks the Company's expansion into its 12th UK city, as it continues to grow organically and increases its DOOH portfolio across the UK's most strategic locations.

 

Tim Bleakley, Chief Executive Officer, commented:

 

"We are delighted to be able to announce this news so soon after the Company's re-admission to the London Stock Exchange. This partnership will enable Ocean to progress its ambition of developing "digital cities for digital citizens", by working closely with the City Council to deliver innovative and engaging digital solutions to the people of Southampton.

 

"Southampton City Council has ambitious plans and we hope we can help them to create commercial value as well as improve engagement with its citizens. As we enter 2019, we remain confident about the increasing importance of DOOH's role across both the urban city and advertising landscapes."
