Amazon Prime Video exec to deliver keynote at WOO Global Congress in Mexico City

João Ferraz de Mesquita – the director of Amazon Prime Video for Australia, New Zealand, LATAM and Canada – will deliver a keynote at the World Out of Home Organization’s Annual Global Congress.

The announcement:

The World Out of Home Organization’s Annual Global Congress convenes in Latin America for the first time — in Mexico City from June 4–6 — with a star-studded line-up of speakers from all sides of the Out of Home industry.

New to the line-up is the Day 1 keynote, João Ferraz de Mesquita, Director – Amazon Prime Video – LATAM, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, part of the world’s biggest advertiser. Ferraz de Mesquita’s theme is “OOH: is it ready to rise to the occasion?” and he will challenge the industry by asking if it is now ready, with the relative demise of TV, to share the stage with digital.

Can it offer the fast reach that will complement the frequency and targeting offered by digital? Does it have the tools and measurement to guarantee the AAA rating that opens the door to greater investment from major players?

WOO president Tom Goddard says: “When Amazon talks, the media world listens and we’re delighted to welcome João Ferraz de Mesquita to Mexico City. His challenge to OOH to fill the gap left by the retreat of linear TV not only shows what the OOH industry needs to do now but also charts a clear path forward to reaching the revenue target the industry has been pursuing for decades. We’re delighted to showcase such a thought-provoking issue and speaker.”
