Local full service advertising agency Out of the Square Media (OOTS) has expanded and strengthened its client offering with the addition of two new industry professionals to its client service team.

Karen Holburn shifted to OOTS after working for local marketing agency Enigma and Rob Vincent joins from the Newcastle Permanent’s marketing team.

Karen is well-known throughout Newcastle with 35 years industry experience. From award-winning copywriter to agency producer and Account Service Manager, Karen has worked across a broad range of clients including retail, luxury hotels, automotive, education and financial institutions.

Rob brings over 18 years experience to OOTS, from his internship in the late 90s with the Port of Newcastle, to helping a huge range of industries including finance, land developments, retail outlets, education and a host of other blue chip clients.

Managing Director, Marty Adnum, said that the new additions to the team are crucial to the continued growth of OOTS, in a way that meets and exceeds client expectations.

“To deliver the best results for our clients it is critical to have the best people onboard professionally and culturally and Karen and Rob are the ideal fit in assisting in the growth of OOTS,” Marty said.

“Their industry experience is second to none which is paramount but perhaps more importantly they have what we call ‘soul’, a genuine respect for their colleagues and desire to deliver for clients in the most ethical way.”
