Digital outdoor media leader QMS has announced the appointment of Ben Gibb as National Sales Director, New Zealand, effective January 2026.
Reporting to QMS Chief Sales Officer, Tim Murphy, Gibb will lead the sales function for QMS’ growing New Zealand out-of-home (OOH) business, overseeing sales strategy, client partnerships, and revenue growth.
The appointment comes as QMS continues to integrate and transition the MediaWorks OOH division under its own brand.
A respected figure in the New Zealand media landscape, Gibb brings more than 20 years’ experience across television, digital, magazines, and OOH.
He joins QMS from Sky New Zealand, where he was Head of Ad Sales, and has previously held senior roles at oOh!media, Adshel, and Yahoo.
Murphy said Gibb’s appointment marked a major milestone for QMS’ expansion across the Tasman.
“Ben is a significant hire for us – in every way,” Murphy said. “He’s one of the most respected operators in the New Zealand market and his experience, reputation and leadership will play a key role in building the QMS brand across our leading portfolio of assets, including Auckland Transport’s four prized out-of-home concessions: vehicular-based media, transport hubs, billboards and the newly appointed street furniture network.

“His deep understanding of both the OOH and media landscapes will be invaluable as we transform our offering, providing greater opportunities for our media agency partners and their clients to plan and buy across New Zealand’s #1 OOH network.”
