Who we are
The Outdoor Media Centre, formerly the Outdoor Advertising Association, is the trade association for outdoor media owners. We’re here to market the outdoor medium. We are a resource centre, a service to support everyone who plans or buys media, and might be looking for arguments in favour of outdoor. This website is your information gateway for relevant suppliers, data, photos and proof of effectiveness.
We support our members’ interests - everything from lobbying to dealing with government planning authorities. We also promote best practice among our members in all matters of health & safety, sustainability and the environment.
