Ocean Outdoor has been named Outdoor Sales Team of the Year at the Campaign Media Awards, beating industry giants JCDecaux and Clear Channel to the prestigious title.

The award judging panel said they were impressed how a “relative minnow” had held its own in what is regarded to be a pretty tough marketplace.

The 6 strong Ocean sales team, which is led by Iain Chapman, took the award for its innovative approach and the delivery of clear and seamless strategy from brand to sales execution.

“This is an outstanding achievement for a company of our size in a market dominated by global organisations and a testament to a lot of hard work and incredible team spirit across the last 18 months,” said Iain Chapman.

Ocean Outdoor Marketing Director Richard said : “It is an honour to be recognised as one of the media owners at the forefront of selling the medium. It’s not just a matter of our products and marketing, we have a team which is using the unique Ocean proposition to steal a share of other media.”

Last month Ocean Outdoor picked up a silver medal at the Media Week Awards for Media Brand of the Year.
