In a joint venture with EL Media Holdings Canada, out-of-home (OOH) advertising firm Clear Channel Outdoor has appointed Adam Butterworth market president for Canada. He succeeds John Jory, who is retiring from the position after 17 years.
Butterworth has worked for Clear Channel Outdoor for 24 years in the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and, most recently, Singapore. He will now lead all aspects of Clear Channel’s Canadian operations, including finance, real estate, public affairs, marketing and sales, reporting directly to Toby Sturek, executive vice-president (EVP) of specialty businesses, and Vaibhav Gupta, EVP of business operations for Branded Cities Network, the U.S. branch of EL Media.
“Adam has an inspiring track record, which includes overseeing revenue growth in the U.K. that outpaced the market twofold and doubling revenues at Clear Channel Singapore in the course of four years,” says Sturek. “We are excited to name him to this important role.”
