“We expect PerView to become a bigger and bigger part of the world…. most people expect PerView and Place Exchange will probably will be able or have a good chance of passing the MRC standards. When that happens and somebody gets the MRC gold stamp of accreditation, that will be a tremendous change from a national perspective for the business.”

Justin Powell, Huntington Billboards

The need for a nationwide installer network.

“We are getting to a place, as you guys know about SignBird,,,,we need that for installers in a nationwide company.  I’m pitching this out there for someone to start this OOH nationwide company… we can have one relationship …. and then they can go get all of our installers …under that umbrella…it would lower the cost on every sign and it would increase accountability.”

“If digitals are over 5 years of age, I start looking at what it is going to cost us in the next 5 years to replace it. So all the digitals 4 years or younger, I will value a different way than those that are older.”

Andy McDonald, OAAA

 “A big issue that you see is surfacing as pandemic aid dries up, all those funds are going away … so how the states are going to fill those coffers …. they don’t want to tax their constituents … that’s not positive, so where are the deep pockets that may not be constituents. They’re out of state corporations and so we’ve got a lot of states … have looked to tax digital advertising Google, Facebook and Meta. The OAAA feels it’s  a slippery slope… they get those taxes in place where they’re going to look next …they’re going to come after us”
