Posterscope appoints Ben Milne as new Managing Director
“Global traveller numbers are at an all-time high and the environments and ways in which we can engage them across the entire journey, fuelled by data and technology, are better than ever before.” Those are the enthusiastic words from Posterscope International’s (PSI) new Managing Director Ben Milne.
Milne, who is replacing James McEwan as of September, is joining from his existing position as Posterscope’s Head of Platforms & Partnerships in Asia Pacific. In this role, he has helped to accelerate the company’s data and automation strategies across the region.
Milne’s priority will be out-of-home advertising in international travel hubs, but the company is also looking to improve its communications across the entire traveller journey.
