HOYTS Group CEO Damian Keogh has announced a restructure of the Val Morgan business as it sets sight on future growth in a changing media landscape following the unexpected resignation of CEO, Dan Hill.
Newly appointed Managing Director, Guy Burbidge, will assume control of Val Morgan Cinema while current Val Morgan Outdoor Managing Director, Paul Butler, will continue his role. Both will report to Keogh.
Damian Keogh told us “We are in for an incredible line up of blockbuster movies in 2019 and the growth of SVOD viewing, which is advertising free, is strengthening the power of cinema advertising. As with all businesses we are constantly evaluating the resources and structure to maximise market effectiveness. While sad to see Dan depart, we have a strong executive team to carry the business forward”.
Dan was brought into the business seven years ago as National Sales Manager and has performed the roles of Chief Revenue Officer and Managing Director of Val Morgan Cinema Advertising before assuming the role of Val Morgan Group CEO in February 2018.
The press releases stated that he had been instrumental in the transformation of the business .. (he) helped drive strong revenue growth and (saw) Val Morgan recognised with multiple industry awards as a leading media sales company.
