Will Brownsdon and Lee Cutter, members of the newly formed Hivestack UK team

We are setting the table for what we believe is an imminent comeback for programmatic DOOH advertising.

LONDON (PRWEB)
June 04, 2020

Hivestack, a global ad tech leader in programmatic digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising today announced that it has expanded sales and operations to the United Kingdom, the fourth largest out-of-home advertising (OOH) market in the world.

The expansion includes appointments of two new senior members to Hivestack UK, with Lee Cutter as Vice President of Sales and Will Brownsdon as Managing Director.

Will Brownsdon brings a wealth of agency experience, having previously held roles at Publicis Groupe as OOH Business Director and at Posterscope as Strategy Director.

Lee Cutter brings deep commercial and business development knowledge with over 20 years of experience working on both the buy and sell-side of OOH, including sales leadership roles at Global Radio, Metro and CBS Outdoor.

Andreas Soupliotis, Founder & CEO of Hivestack commented: “Hivestack’s international expansion continues today with the exciting launch of our UK business. We feel fortunate to have, not one, but two, incredibly experienced OOH UK leaders joining Hivestack. With these senior hires, we are setting the table for what we believe is an imminent comeback for programmatic DOOH advertising. In the near future, we believe that UK audiences will be outside again in full force. We want to be able to service UK marketers and publishers in anticipation of this recovery.”

In recent months, the seismic economic shift ignited by the COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges for advertisers, agencies and DOOH media owners. More than ever, marketers are cautiously considering allocating budgets towards DOOH activations that minimize spill impressions and offer the ability to attribute business outcomes to DOOH exposure. The challenging economic climate coupled with the ability to easily pause campaigns in a “self-serve” manner has further ripened the market for programmatic DOOH buying.

With its UK expansion, Hivestack is investing and doubling-down on a key market in its journey and vision of growing programmatic DOOH advertising globally.

Lee Cutter, newly appointed VP of Sales of Hivestack UK shared: “I’ve been blown away by the Hivestack platform and the phenomenally talented team behind it. I look forward to sharing this with the market and truly making tangible enhancements to campaigns through unparalleled insights into audience movements that translate into real business outcomes through various measurement capabilities.”

The UK market is one of the most advanced DOOH markets in the world, with more than 50% of total OOH ad sales coming from digital. DOOH buying is usually transacted directly between buyers and sellers. Programmatic DOOH is rapidly evolving as an incremental complement to directly sold DOOH, and Hivestack’s UK expansion is a testament to this belief.

Will Brownsdon, newly appointed Managing Director of Hivestack UK commented: “I am delighted to be joining the Hivestack family and developing our operations in the UK. Programmatic DOOH continues to evolve and develop at a rapid pace, and Hivestack’s highly-skilled team is at the cutting edge. Now, more than ever, technology will be the enabler as we try to get an understanding of real world behaviour.”

About Hivestack

Hivestack is a global, full stack, marketing technology company that powers the buy and sell-side of programmatic digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising. On the buy side, marketers use Hivestack’s Demand-Side Platform to create measurable campaigns that activate DOOH screens in real time based on consumer behaviour and audience movement patterns. On the sell-side, DOOH media owners use Hivestack’s Supply-Side Platform & Ad Exchange to attract programmatic revenue. DOOH media owners can use also Hivestack’s Ad Server to power audience-based, directly sold campaigns. Attribution is a first class-citizen throughout Hivestack’s platform, offering buyers and sellers the ability to measure business outcomes at all stages of the consumer sales funnel.

In times of uncertainty, it is vital that CEOs collaborate closely with their boards, who can provide critical perspective and guidance in both successfully navigating crises and pivoting to capitalize on new opportunities.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB)
June 03, 2020

Centerstone Executive Search and Consulting (Centerstone), a national, retained executive search firm, today released a special guide focused on ways CEOs can leverage their Board of Directors in their response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Developed by Kim Villeneuve, Ed.D, CEO of Centerstone, the guide summarizes best practices applicable to organizations across all industries.

CEOs are being faced with unprecedented challenges and the actions they take over the next weeks and months will have a long-lasting impact on the success of the organization. For CEOs and boards, ensuring successful synergy will build resilience and allow the organization to be stronger in the long-term.

COVID-19 has upended the way business is done – and leaders must continually adapt as the situation changes. “Companies must re-evaluate assumptions and decisions made before the crisis began, and work to mitigate future risks.” says Villeneuve, who holds a doctorate in human and organizational learning and has advised CEOs and board directors for more than 25 years. “By properly leveraging their boards, CEOs can access the expertise and crisis capability of their directors to make important decisions and encourage innovation.”

The guide encourages CEOs to leverage the following key Board qualities:

•     Collective wisdom.
•     Breadth of business knowledge.
•     Decisiveness.
•     Focus on talent levers.
•     Focus on the future.

In the best of times, CEOs and boards each have their own respective, and some shared, responsibilities. In times of uncertainty, it is vital that CEOs collaborate closely with their boards, who can provide critical perspective and guidance in both successfully navigating crises and pivoting to capitalize on new opportunities.

Reflecting on the current business climate, Villeneuve noted, “our practice has served the consumer sector for over 20 years – so right alongside our clients we have weathered some of the most difficult economic challenges, which now sadly includes COVID-19. However, I continue to be inspired by the quality of leadership in our industry and the incisive decision making that focuses on humanity first, protecting businesses so that we can support our families, communities and industry overall.”
