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.

Who’s digital signs do you own and what’s been your experience?

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