JCDecaux has strengthened its South Island and Wellington teams with two key appointments to support airport partners and agency clients beyond Auckland.
Kimberly Rennie has been promoted to the newly created role of airport business development manager, based in Christchurch.
The appointment expands JCDecaux’s airport focus and supports continued growth across Christchurch and Queenstown Airports. Rennie will work closely with Auckland‑based airport business development manager Jethro Gardiner, ensuring dedicated airport expertise across both the North and South Islands.
Deep understanding of airport environments
Rennie leads development at Christchurch and Queenstown Airports, creating advertising opportunities that fit terminal environments and deliver results for partners and advertisers.
Her deep understanding of airport environments, strong commercial acumen and proven track record supporting the agency’s South Island growth make her ideally placed to drive the next phase of development, says JCDecaux.
Airport audiences continue to climb, reinforcing airports as one of the strongest environments in out of home. In the year to June 2026, overseas visitor arrivals reached 3.67 million, up 299,000 year‑on‑year, while New Zealand‑resident traveller arrivals hit a record 3.09 million, surpassing June 2019.
Strengthen the team across key regions
JCDecaux has also appointed Racheal Holmes as account director, based in Wellington.
Holmes brings extensive OOH experience, having spent more than a decade with oOh!media where she established the Wellington office and built the local market from the ground up.
She will lead JCDecaux’s client engagement in Wellington and support Christchurch activity within her broader portfolio.
JCDecaux NZ executive general manager Phil Eastwood says the appointments strengthen JCDecaux’s team across key regions.
“Airport audiences are growing and advertisers are looking for partners who understand how to make the most of these environments. Kimberly’s promotion and Racheal’s appointment enhance our capability across both the South Island and Wellington, ensuring we can support airport partners and deliver high‑quality, commercially effective solutions for brands.”
