Elizabeth McIntyre new CEO at OMA
Industry newcomer Elizabeth McIntyre will be the new CEO of the Outdoor Media Association, succeeding long- time incumbent Charmain Moldrich, who will step down after 13 years in the role.
McIntyre has spent the past 12 years as Group CEO for Think Brick Australia, Concrete Masonry Association of Australia, and the Australian Roofing Tile Association, collectively. As an industry leader, she has delivered
a decade of growth to the three boards who support the $900m industry.
Outdoor media is today worth $1bn a year in Australia, split 65/35 between digital and print. It has bounced back strongly from its Covid-induced crash. Print’s share has been on a steady decline for the past six years as digital has risen, but at $350m and rising it is still a major sector of print.
McIntyre said, “It is an exciting time to be leading the outdoor industry. I was drawn to the role for the opportunity to work in a creative and complex environment, coupled with the opportunity to advocate on behalf of members. I look forward to working to lead the industry to future growth.”
