Meet the team: Ryan Simpson reaches a milestone - 15 years at VMO
Ryan Simpson has reached a major milestone at VMO of 15 years of outstanding service. Since joining the business back in 2007, Ryan has been a major contributor to VMO's growth and revenue success. More recently, through his leadership of the direct and independent agency team, the team has consistently over-delivered their revenue targets.
Tell us about your journey in the industry and at VMO.
I’ve always worked in Outdoor. I’ve spent 18 years in the industry, 15 of those at VMO.
When I first started, I was an Account Manager. A year later, I went on to become the Sydney Agency Director for the next 9 years. My team won multiple industry awards for Sales Team of the Year (with the cinema team). It was from there that I became National Sales Director of indie and direct for 5 years.
What are your three biggest achievements in your time at VMO?
I’d say hitting over 85% of all budgets in the last 15 years, helping to build the business from 20 shopping centres to 2,000 locations and 10,000 screens, and helping to build and shape the Val Morgan culture.
Who is your favourite sporting team?
I’m a typical NRL Sydney Roosters fan! I never miss a game.
Tell us about your future goals.
My goals are to build a national indie & direct team, and to make it to 20 years with VMO.
Where would we find you on the weekend?
On the weekend, you’ll find me spending time with my kids, at the beach or at the movies.
Thank you Ryan for your dedication and loyalty to the VMO business.
