New CMO following deal closure
JCDecaux has announced a new leadership team for the combined APN Outdoor and JCDecaux businesses, including a the CMO, the day after the previous general manager of marketing of APN Outdoor, Charlotte Valente, left.
New JCDecaux Australia and New Zealand CEO, Steve O’Connor, announced the new leadership team for the combined JCDecaux and APN Outdoor businesses, following the successful closing of the APN and JCDecaux deal yesterday.
Current CMO at JCDecaux, Essie Wake, has been appointed CMO of the joint businesses. Wake, who joined JCDecaux in 2011, was previously marketing director. She has a 19-year career in the media industry, and prior to joining JCDecaux was research and strategy director with Initiative.
Currently COO at APN Outdoor, Andrew Hines, is the new COO of both businesses. Chief commercial officer, Max Eburne, will have a focus on all advertiser and agency revenue, and the chief strategy and innovation officer is now Jeremy Howe.
“I am confident that we have the right combination of talent, skills and experience in our new leadership team who will now work together to create a market leading Out-of-Home company in Australia and New Zealand,” O’Connor said.
“As the world’s largest Out-of-Home advertising company, we can bring all the benefits a global brand can offer and, with the addition of APN Outdoor’s scale and expertise, behave like the market leader that we are. The leadership team and I will work closely to combine our talent, capabilities, products and technology to deliver our clients a world-class offering.”
JCDecaux made a $1.09 billion bid for the APN Outdoor Group on 21 June this year. The deal was conditional on APN dropping its bid for fellow OOH player, Adshel, which had been lodged in May, just days after oOh!media placed its own $470 million bid in for Adshel.
JCDecaux then announced it would acquire ASX-listed APN Outdoor Group in a deal worth $1.12 billion.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) gave the green light to both oOh!media’s acquisition of Adshel, and JCDecaux SA's acquisition of APN Outdoor Group.

Many marketers, agencies - and everyone in between - get caught up on bubble references and data points. They’ll use Facebook best practice as the only best practice for Facebook executions and only consider metrics and responses of the one channel they’re expected to deliver on.
A few weeks ago, our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison took it upon himself to tell companies and their CEOs where to go when it came to societal issues. It wasn’t an organisation’s place to get involved. Instead, he said it should be left to governments to solve societies challenges.
A study published in The Harvard Business Review found the time spent in collaborative activities at work has increased by over 50 per cent in the past two decades. Larger projects; complicated problems; tighter timeframes: These require bigger teams with specialised skillsets and diverse backgrounds, often dispersed globally.
In this bonus last episode of this new podcast series, BrandHook MD, Pip Stocks, talks with former ANZ group general manager of marketing, Louise Eyres, talks about the importance of thinking like a customer and using intuition to solve customer painpoints.
