RAB Appoints Chief Executive And Managing Director

The Radio Advertising Bureau (RAB) has promoted its two founding members of staff – Douglas McArthur and Justin Sampson – to chief executive and managing director respectively. McArthur has been managing director at the RAB since its launch in 1992 and Sampson is currently operations director for the Bureau.

The RAB’s chairman Peter Warren says: “For two years now, Justin Sampson has been principally running the operation of the RAB, while Douglas has been leading the marketing strategy and vision. The Board has decided to recognise this situation and reward these two key individuals with the titles that are appropriate for their contribution to the RAB.”

Since the RAB’s inception in 1992 radio has been the fastest growing medium, in terms of advertising revenue, for all but one year. Radio has moved from being a 2% medium to the 6% medium it is today. “While there have been other contributors to this extraordinary growth, there can be no doubt that the work of RAB has been a major driver,” says Warren.
