Liverpool and London based out of home media owner, OPEN Media, is celebrating a considerable year of growth, despite working through a second year of the pandemic.
OPEN Media’s revenue growth grew 105% in 2021 from 2020, which is a result of dedication and relationship building from the teams in both the North and South.
This years turnover is a remarkable achievement considering the economic and social environment that UK businesses find themselves in during the pandemic.
The small team expanded across various departments, with the additions of Account Manager, Finance Manager and Office Assistant in 2021.

Alongside new team members, OPEN Media have proudly promoted 3 of their employees to the following roles – Operations Manager, Chief Revenue Officer and Business Director, across both of their headquarters.
In Q1, Marketing Manager Amy Shaw was recognised for a WACL Talent Award for her commitment to corporate social responsibility within business.
Earlier this year, OPEN Media added to their large format portfolio with their second digital offering in London. 2020 saw the launch of the highly anticipated D48 network, and this showed no signs of this slowing down in 2021.

The company’s footprint across the UK has almost doubled, with new sites in Bristol, Walsall, Newcastle, Cardiff, Leeds and Manchester.
The end of 2021 has seen the company launch their brand new strategy of People Planet and Place, which sees them commit to always putting their people, their communities and the planet at the heart of all business. 2022 will see OPEN Media ramp up this strategy with the launch of many exciting new projects.
Founder and Chief Visionary Officer, Mike Smith, says:
“2021 has been an interesting and exciting year for OPEN – we’ve been through lockdowns, tier systems and new ways of working but we have shown great resilience as a team to turn this year into a successful one.
“We are super excited for 2022 and can’t wait to deliver our new strategy and continue to do great business.”
