“Our business is evolving,” says Jörg Cieslok, president and CEO. “While we continue to focus our efforts on our digital out-of-home growth across Canada, at the same time, our mobile offerings have become expansive. It became evident to us over the past several months that there was a high demand for our unique mobile targeting capabilities. This is why we decided to move forward with creating a dedicated department to manage this business.”
