Let us introduce you to our incredibly talented team who collaborate from all corners of the UK to deliver exceptional service, stand-out campaigns and who have a shared vision of being leaders in the OOH industry

Senior Leadership Team

Paul Inman

Managing Director

Paul founded 75Media in 2020 after more than 15 years managing UK-wide out-of-home operations. Prior to his years in OOH, Paul spent 10 years at the helm of branding and design agencies, both in the UK and Middle East, working with clients such as HSBC, Nike, First Direct and Ford.

Alongside the other 75Media directors, Paul is the driving force behind the company’s vision of becoming the UK’s number one roadside outdoor advertising network. His years of experience in the outdoor media industry have enabled 75Media to carve out a strong position in the market giving both direct and agency clients access to a high-quality, high-impact inventory of roadside billboards.

Katy Conway

Brand Communications & ESG Director

Following a 20-year career in PR, Katy transitioned into the world of out-of-home in May 2020, joining Paul in launching 75Media.

Katy’s professional life began in the arts and not-for-profit sector, working for organisations such as Manchester Camerata and Universities UK. Later, Katy made the leap into freelance consulting where she handled comms for brands and organisations including the National Trust, the National Science and Media Museum and Ilkley Brewery.

As well as leading on 75Media’s external communications and brand development, Katy also oversees our ESG strategy, ensuring the company meets targets set around the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
