 PROFILE
Here's a company with all the signs of a successful outdoor advertising company. Lamar Advertising is the #3 billboard firm in the US (behind Infinity Broadcasting and Clear Channel Communications), with some 131,000 outdoor displays in 43 states. It also operates 33 transit advertising franchises in 14 states and maintains more than 90,000 logo signs (the green exit signs with logos of nearby hotels and restaurants) along interstate highways in 20 states and Canada. Chairman, president, and CEO Kevin Reilly Jr. and his family (related to the founding Lamar family) have 70% voting control of the company; radio broadcaster Clear Channel is disposing of its 23% equity stake following its acquisition of AMFM.
