Bio
With David's extensive background in oil and gas and Mike's expertise in real estate and marketing, they embarked on a journey into the world of billboard ownership and operation. Mike fondly reminisces about their inaugural billboard adventure, located near the Texas Motor Speedway in Denton County. Recalling their early steps into the industry, Mike recounts attending an OAAA event in Washington, D.C., where they were still exploring their venture. Seeking guidance, Mike approached a seasoned individual and inquired about the type of billboard structure they should construct. The gentleman's advice was to build a poster panel sign, which could be sold to Clear Channel. (Poster panels are signs where paper is manually rolled on and can come off easily, sometimes too easily.) Following this advice, Mike opted for the poster panel design. At the time, he was unaware that they could hire someone to create a turnkey sign, so they procured the individual parts separately. They ended up building the sign themselves, ascending and descending the structure until its completion. A few years later, when a storm damaged half of the sign, it became apparent that they were ill-suited for the task of building signs. Despite the mishap, they retained ownership of the sign and never sold it. In hindsight, Mike suspects that the gentleman who advised them might have been associated with Clear Channel. Since their initial foray into the billboard industry, Mike and David have expanded their reach. They have erected and acquired more than 750 traditional billboard faces, in addition to managing a dozen digital faces. Their advertising outreach spans across over 30 counties in North Texas, with most of them located within a two-hour drive of the Dallas/Ft. Worth Metroplex. As of today, Arrington Outdoor Advertising's Texas billboard portfolio stretches eastward to Tyler, southward to Waco, westward to Midland, and northward to the Red River. They invite you to explore their interactive markets map and reach out to them via phone or email. Mike and his team are enthusiastic about sharing the advantages of outdoor advertising and how it can foster growth and enrichment for your business.
