Jay Young from Talon was the winner of the very first Rising Star award, which recognises those that have been in the Out of Home industry for five years or less and who have shown incredible potential, inspiring others to use the medium. The judges were hugely impressed with the talent and creativity of all those shortlisted for the award and decided to highly commend both James Rawlings from S3 Advertising and Nate Barker from MediaCom Outdoor.
With a record number of entries for this year鈥檚 awards, all the judges were blown away by the standard of submissions. Chris Pelekanou, Chief Customer Officer at Emc易倍体育 and OMA judge, said: 鈥淥ut of Home has always delighted, excited and surprised people; now it can do so much more through digital. The campaigns get more exciting and innovative each year and I can鈥檛 wait to see what鈥檚 in store for 2019, where I鈥檓 confident the entries will raise the bar once again.鈥
Geoff de Burca, Managing Partner at MediaCom UK and OMA judge, also commented: 鈥淚 think the Outdoor Media Awards are a great way of celebrating the best in the industry. It鈥檚 incredible to see the journey that the medium has been on and to see the kind of work people are doing that just wouldn鈥檛 have been possible just a few years ago.鈥
The awards, run by Emc易倍体育 UK in partnership with Campaign magazine, are now in their 12th year and reward excellence in Out of Home advertising. The awards ceremony, held in the historic St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel last night, was a huge success, with people from all over the industry gathering to celebrate the most memorable, strategic and innovative campaigns from the past year, as well as the brilliant people involved in creating them.
