The Outdoor Media Association has announced the winners of its 2022 awards.
This year the newest award category, the Emerging Leader Award sponsored by Big Screen Video, recognises emerging leaders within the industry and provides the winner with an opportunity to travel, network and enhance their understanding of digital LED technology.
Also introduced this year is the Ben Walker National Rising Star Award as a memorial to the CEO of Shopper, who passed away earlier this year.
OMA CEO Charmaine Moldrich: “The refreshed awards program acknowledges both the maturity of the industry, as well as the boost in OMA membership which has seen 13 companies join in the last 15 months.
“We received 58 nominations, submitted to acknowledge the talent of our members’ teams. From Rising Stars to the Hall of Fame, we are proud to celebrate the incredibly significant contribution made by our members, not just to their company but to the wider OOH industry.”
The finalists and winners were chosen by judges: Cathy O’Connor, CEO of oOh!media; Charles Parry-Okeden, independent chair of the OMA and MOVE; Joe Copley, chief revenue officer, Seedooh; Paul Butler, managing director, Val Morgan Outdoor; Steve Bovey, 2018 Excellence in Innovation Award Winner; and special guest judge Lisa Walker, Ben Walker’s widow who judged the Ben Walker National Rising Star Award.
