Days after announcing 7-figure backing from the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund II, 75 Media has acquired an outdoor portfolio with a reach of 19m.
The Leeds operator will operate the majority of Mass Media’s large format digital roadside billboards – a total of 31 new sites, reaching around 19m every fortnight.
“This acquisition is a significant step forward for 75Media. It not only enhances our digital portfolio but also sends a clear message to the industry – we are expanding, we are investing, and we are committed to delivering high-quality roadside advertising opportunities,” said Paul Inman, CEO and Founder of 75Media.
“Mass Media has built an impressive estate of large-format digital sites, and we’re pleased to be bringing them into our network. With the addition of a large proportion of its future pipeline of D48s and LFDs, we’re accelerating our growth and giving advertisers even more ways to engage with real audiences in prime locations.”
