JCDecaux’s Daniel Hofer to highlight key growth drivers in OOH at WOO Seoul Forum
Long-time member of the WOO board where he represents JCDecaux, Daniel Hofer will reveal findings from a new study looking at identifying key success factors for OOH growth across international markets in a Keynote address to the World Out of home Organization Regional Forum in Seoul, South Korea. The Forum will take place from November 5-7.
Hofer, Chairman of APG/SGA (OOH market leader in Switzerland) and Vice-Chairman of Gewista (market leader in Austria) will identify the drivers of OOH market share growth and what the industry needs to learn from the efforts of other media. Prior to joining JCDecaux – where he was CEO for Germany, Austria, Central- & Eastern Europe and Central Asia – he spent 20 years in C-level posts in other media businesses including newspapers.
WOO President Tom Goddard says:“Daniel Hofer is not just an Out of Home expert but a global media expert and we’re privileged to have this opportunity for an exclusive look at what promise to be key findings about the current state of OOH and how it can grow its global market share. Competing with other media, especially legacy media, is key to the growth of OOH and there could be no better guide than Daniel with his vast experience of all media.”
