  • The one local media form defying gravity

    The one local media form defying gravity
    Aug 18 2025
    Duncan Greive is joined by Phil Eastwood, GM of JCDecaux NZ, and Paul Maher, chair of OOHMAA, to discuss the rise and rise of out-of-home media. Once a backwater of the industry, it’s now the only locally operated sector showing robust growth. Partly a result of digital screens, partly a response to the hyper-saturation of ads in digital contexts, out-of-home has become what Eastwood calls “the last true broadcast medium”.

He gives his views on the utopian promise of its origins, the narrowing of algorithms and how social lost its way. And explains why, despite all that, he’s launching MUFGAL – perhaps his most ambitious attempt yet to hold true to that founding idea. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
