Longley will be responsible for developing, implementing, and driving the OMA’s government relations and stakeholder management strategies.”
Charmaine Moldrich, OMA CEO said: “As a self-regulated industry, the government relations role is critical in helping our members navigate policy and exceed government and community expectations. We continue to demonstrate success in this area, with strong stakeholder relationships. Philip will be a great asset in helping us build from this healthy base. His experience in membership organisations coupled with his political nous, positions him well to represent the Out of Home industry’s growth agenda.”
Longley had previously served as Engineers Australia’s head of government relations where he led the association’s policy reform agenda, developing campaign strategies and engaging government stakeholders. He had also served as a policy advisor to Liberal MP Jason Falinski.
“There’s never been a better time to be in government relations for Outdoor media,” said Longley.
“There are significant opportunities for meaningful reform which I look forward to working through with members. I’ve enjoyed my work to-date both in policy and private sector government relations where I led numerous campaigns and was responsible for the development of policy ranging from media to finance, defence and cyber. I am excited to lead the OMA’s Governmental Relations team into its next phase and foster a sustainable environment for the Outdoor industry.”
