Founded in 1955 by Ed Keyes, Key-Ads, Inc. today is operated by Ed’s son and grandsons. Key-Ads has expanded over the years throughout Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky.
After serving in World War II, Ed returned to his hometown of Dayton, Ohio and began a career in sales. It was in his sales/management position in the field of outdoor advertising, that he found his calling.
When Ed was forty, with a wife and six children, he embarked on his new business. Over the next 25 years, Ed began building and selling 8-Sheet Junior Posters in the greater Dayton area. His son, Nicholas, joined the company full-time in 1973.
In 1979, Nicholas purchased the company.
Since that time, Nicholas has been joined by his three sons: Nick Jr., Stephen, and Joe. Key-Ads has grown to now offer 8-Sheet Junior Posters, 30-Sheet Posters, Bulletins, Wallscapes, and Digital Billboards throughout their coverage area.
