Kathy, how did you enter the out of home business?

I developed an interest in the out of home industry during a time that I was a media planner/buyer.  I was very intrigued with the recurring charge business and the excitement of outdoor and its ability to be a mainstay while traditional media was losing market share.

Kathy, who’s digital signs do you own and what’s been your experience?

 I currently own two Formetco panels and my experience has been flawless and so far so good. We are enjoying the fun side of digital.

You’re on the Board of Directors of the Florida Outdoor Advertising Association.  Are there currently any state regulatory issues which you are monitoring?

Always looking to protect our industry and preserve our property rights, and vegetation management is a hot topic currently.
