She also highlighted the potential for using outdoor advertising as a powerful tool for social change.
“There’s a compelling opportunity for Women in Out-of-Home to take the industry to the next level by demonstrating the creative potential of outdoor advertising,” said Oke. “Embracing digitalization and delivering more value for clients are essential steps to meet the evolving needs of the advertising landscape.”
