Huawei sealed The Brand Fame Award for their high-impact, multi-format “2018 OOH” campaign, around the launch of two new devices.

Chris Pelekanou, Chief Customer Officer at Clear Channel and Outdoor Media Awards judge, said: “All of this year’s winners and shortlisted entries have played a substantial part in driving forward Out of Home, whether it’s a combined large scale efforts of McDonald’s, or the localised push for change by Slough Borough Council. I’m exceptionally proud to be part of this industry, and I’m sure all of the winners will too.”
