PATTISON Outdoor Wins Advertising Contracts in Surrey and Chilliwack BC

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - September 27, 2016) - The nation's largest Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising company and a leader in outdoor advertising, today announced two long-term media sales contracts. The first is a new, long-term contract with the City of Surrey to manage its Bus Bench advertising inventory. It includes the management of media sales for over 800 bus benches recently managed by a local competitor. The other is a renewal with the City of Chilliwack to manage sales for its inventory of Transit Shelter advertising faces (a total of 34).

The addition of the Surrey bus benches, coupled with over 650 existing Transit Shelter advertising faces, and the renewal in Chilliwack, greatly enhances PATTISON Outdoors' position as the premiere media sales company in British Columbia. Today's announcement follows PATTISON's recent win with the City of Richmond to manage media sales for 400 Transit Shelters advertising faces and 600 Bus Benches.

"Drawing on our recent win in Richmond, we are thrilled that the cities of Surrey and Chilliwack have awarded PATTISON Outdoor these long-term advertising contracts," said Steve McGregor, Vice President and General Manager, Pacific Region of PATTISON Outdoor Advertising. "The contracts illustrate our longstanding dedication and commitment to the people of British Columbia as we patiently and strategically build up our media sales business across all outdoor media channels. Congratulations to our team for their efforts, and thank you to our partners, the cities of Surrey and Chilliwack, and our clients who place their trust in us with their brand messaging each and every day."

"This solidifies the Surrey's business relationship with PATTISON Outdoor," said Jaime Boan, Surrey's Manager of Transportation. "They have been both innovative and responsive in support of the City's initiatives to develop the revenue streams necessary to provide next generation transportation infrastructure to a rapidly expanding population."

"We look forward to the sleek new transit shelters that will provide comfort for Chilliwack Transit riders and promote transit use," said Chilliwack's Mayor Sharon Gaetz. "We really appreciate our long term relationship with PATTISON that includes turn-key shelter installations and maintenance at no cost to our community."
