Quotes

  • "Throughout the last 16 years, I've owned and built and bought billboards almost like a rental house business. And about three to four years ago, I got more seriously involved in billboards. I started other small billboard companies." - Scott Harkey

  • “European markets, their percentage of spend of billboards are in the double digits in terms of your percentage of ad spend towards that category. Call it 10, 20% of total advertising going to out of home where in the US market, it's like three to 5%.” - Scott Harkey

  • 5. “70% of designers make bad billboards. They just don't know how to do it. They're looking at a computer screen. My rule of thumb is print the damn thing out, put it on the wall, tape it up the wall and walk 10 steps back.” - Scott Harkey
