“The out-of-home industry has reached a crossroads – with the rise of digital, location data and AI completely reshaping how we build, execute and measure the success of campaigns. Billups leads the way in leveraging this technology, but what drew me to the company is that they aim to ‘deliver amazing’ in everything they do – from how they deploy teams, create partnerships, build technology and produce campaigns. I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this innovative and growing organization,” said Krupp.
Krupp joins Billups from Kinetic North America, a WPP company and the largest OOH agency in North America. As CEO, he oversaw four offices, 110 employees, and over 200 clients. During his tenure, billings grew 20% and Kinetic was the most awarded domestic OOH specialist agency.
“David absolutely embodies what we’ve been looking for: a leader who regularly delivers amazing has deep experience with top brands and suppliers and knows the OOH space inside and out. As a part of our continued mission to transform the OOH industry, it is imperative that we bring in people who are not only authentic and passionate about the space, but also have the knowledge and ability to move the OOH world forward. I’m confident that David joining our all-star management team will help us grow in all aspects of our business,” said Ben Billups CEO, Billups.
