The Ozone Project has launched a dedicated, Manchester-based regional hub to serve agencies and advertisers in the North. The creation of the northern hub sees Bill Dennett join the digital ad platform in the role of Senior Agency Partner. As Ozone’s first regional representative, Dennett was previously Senior Agency Sales Manager at News UK, leading a team of five Manchester-based sales managers.

The Ozone Project was founded by News UK, Telegraph Media Group, Reach PLC and Guardian News & Media to provide advertisers with easy, streamlined access to premium audiences at scale. In November of last year, the founding publishers announced further investment in the platform.

“We are delighted to be opening our doors fully to the regions and with Bill’s appointment, we are set to build on our existing relationships with even greater focus and care,” said CRO Craig Tuck. “At a time when our founders are investing in and accelerating Ozone’s growth, it’s vitally important that we have the best talent on our team. We’ve already seen fantastic briefs and great work from the regional offices of our agency partners and now with Bill on board, we’re very excited at delivering bigger and better campaigns for our customers in 2021.”
