Leveraging Global Outdoor Systems\u2019 existing infrastructure in various African countries will allow PMG to launch new media and services, as well as expand its existing highly successful media businesses: ProActive\u2122<\/em><\/a>, TransitAds\u2122,<\/a> MallAds\u2122<\/a>, AirportAds\u00ae<\/a> and Field Sales.

Jacques du Preez, founder and MD of Provantage Media Group, said: \u201cWe are delighted to announce the acquisition of Global Outdoor Systems and the formation of Provantage Global \u2013 a natural progression in terms of our desire to further expand into Africa. This has long been part of PMG\u2019s growth strategy and will enable us to earn foreign currency. Having credible, owned infrastructure in a large number of African countries will give us further traction on the continent and offer a wider footprint and portfolio of media services to our clients, both local and international.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neil Page, Director of Provantage Global, said: \u201cThis acquisition will provide the impetus to take Global Outdoor Systems\u2019 service offerings to the next level, and bring a wider scope for growth within the existing markets and provide a catapult for expansion into the rest of Africa. Under the new guise of Provantage Global, we are set to become the leading OOH provider on the African continent.\u201d<\/p>\n
