Global, the Media & Entertainment group, has formally rebranded Exterion Media in Northern Ireland to Global, bringing the outdoor portfolio together under the Global brand.

Exterion Media was acquired by Global in 2018, making Global a market-leading outdoor company in Northern Ireland, as well as one of the largest outdoor advertising companies in Europe.

There has been significant growth and development of the Global outdoor advertising portfolio across the island of Ireland in recent years including the continued expansion of its digital outdoor network.

In Northern Ireland, Global has more than 5,000 sites made up of traditional roadside and retail billboards, digital screens and buses reaching individuals in every postcode area across Northern Ireland. It is the sole provider of bus advertising in the region with an exclusive partnership with transport provider, Translink. The company manages Belfast City’s largest on-street digital screen network through partnerships with BT and Urban Innovation, placing advertisers in the heart of the city centre.
