NEW YORK Aegis Group's outdoor ad buyer Posterscope is expanding its U.S. operations with a new office in Denver, the shop confirmed today.

The scope of service at the Denver outpost includes out-of-home planning, buying, research and production. Clients also will be able to utilize Posterscope's experiential marketing and digital offerings through its specialty units, The Brand Experience and Hyperspace, respectively.

Initial clients in the market include the Colorado Lottery, Xcel Energy, Banner Healthcare, E-470, Wild Oats and Centura Health.
