Commenting on the news, Steve Quah, CEO of Aeorema, said: "I am immensely proud that we have won Best Outdoor Activation at the Ex Awards 2023, and to receive such recognition from our American peers. This award is testament to the incredible hard work our team poured into this project, and the growing success of our expansion into the US market four years ago. This great work is only made possible by our fantastic trusted partnership with Stagwell and TEAM".

"Aeroema has gone from strength to strength in recent years, as we strive for excellence across our agencies. I have no doubt that it will be my privilege to report further successes for Cheerful Twentyfirsts to the market in the coming months and years."
