Outfront CEO Nick Brien has been named chairman of the Out of Home Advertising Association's Board of Directors.

Brien succeeds former Clear Channel Outdoor CEO Scott Wells and will serve the remainder of Wells' term, according to a press release.

The OAAA is a national trade association representing the out-of-home advertising industry.

Brien, who currently serves on OAAA's executive committee, brings more than four decades of leadership experience spanning advertising, media, technology and marketing.

"Nick brings a unique perspective to this role, with deep experience across every corner of the advertising industry and a clear understanding of the opportunity ahead for out of home," Anna Bager, president and CEO of OAAA, said in the release. "As our industry continues to grow and evolve, his leadership will help us build on this momentum, strengthen our relationships with the broader marketing community, and advance the priorities that matter most to our members, brand marketers, and agency leaders."

Wells has served as chairman of OAAA's Board of Directors since March 2023 and has been a member of the board since 2015.

"I am honored to take on this role at a defining moment for our industry," Brien said in the release. "In a fragmented media world, the value of out of home has never been clearer. It delivers the scale and innovation marketers expect with the trust and real-world presence consumers value."
