QMS has appointed Sean Rigby as national trading and partnerships director. He will commence the role in Q4 this year and will be based in Sydney.
Rigby left his previous role as oOh!media‘s group revenue director earlier this year, and will fill the role left by former general manager – trading, John Glynn. In his new role, he will be responsible for revenue strategy, analytics, pricing and inventory, business intelligence, revenue reporting, and trading partnerships.
Rigby has over 20 years’ experience in the out-of-home industry, and has worked in key agency sales roles at JCDecaux and Clear Channel in the UK.
QMS chief executive officer, John O’Neill, said he was “delighted to welcome Sean to QMS,” and that his “experience, relationships and passion for OOH will make a significant impact on our business.
“When Sean became available, we jumped at the opportunity to bring him on board to head up our trading team and continue to help foster strong relationships with our client and agency partners.
“His proven experience and commercial understanding will prove crucial to our ongoing expansion and success.”
Rigby joins QMS in a major year for the company, ahead of both the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and QMS’ Paris 2024 Digital Screen Network.
With 95% of QMS’ inventory being digital, the network will showcase Games content in real time, including a countdown to the Games, breaking news, medal-winning moments, medal tallies, world records, team profiles, and other significant moments from the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The network currently has a ‘100 days to go’ countdown ticking down on screens.
The Paris 2024 Digital Screen Network is set to reach more than 80% of people aged 18 and older via the City of Sydney street furniture network, The Convenience Network, and Gold Coast street furniture assets.
