The company combines great people with great assets in growing DOOH markets, offering impressive opportunities across a number of different business areas and multiple countries. This acquisition creates an enhanced offering which benefits all stakeholders, landlords, municipalities and advertisers along with the media and specialist agencies. We look forward to working with the management teams at Visual Art to combine their expertise with the Ocean brand and our digital cities for digital citizens philosophy." Tim Bleakley, Ocean CEO.
