Ocean Outdoor pens key deal with URW

Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) has appointed Ocean Outdoor as the strategic media partner for its Westfield Fisketorvet shopping, dining and leisure destination in Copenhagen, Denmark.

The seven-year contract, which has a lifetime value of £7m, will see Ocean Outdoor develop the in-mall experience via a network of 25 digital screens and a new double-sided screen. 

Ocean Outdoor will also overhaul the outside of Westfield Fisketorvet with a second external full motion screen.

The deal also expands Ocean’s premium digital-out-of-home portfolio to 24 European URW shopping malls, including Westfield Mall of the Netherlands, Westfield Mall of Scandinavia, and the exclusive external rights at Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City in the UK.

Stephen Joseph, chief financial officer and chief operating officer at Ocean Outdoor, says: “The addition of Westfield Fisketorvet to our retail portfolio positions Ocean as the leading provider of digital out of home experiences in Denmark, a relatively new category which will build audience engagement as restrictions ease and people return to out of home shopping environments. 

Westfield Fisketorvet is set to transform the country’s retail experience and Ocean looks forward to playing our part in partnership with URW
