Where amazing
partnerships begin
Trailhead Media is an all-new out of home media company with a growing network of printed and digital billboards in attractive advertising markets across America. We are customer-focused and quality-obsessed, and unlike any other media company you may have worked with in the past.
I believe Trailhead Media is different from other outdoor media companies because of our people, most of whom have come to us via the acquisitions we’ve made. With that has come a diversity of backgrounds, experiences and ideas. It is our people’s diversity, family-centric ethos, and passion to build the best outdoor media company in the country that defines who we are as a company. Whether you work for us, lease to us, or advertise with us, you become a true partner and an important part of the Trailhead Media family.
Our growth story
Trailhead Media was founded in 2020 with the acquisition of the outdoor advertising assets of Busby Outdoor in Mississippi and Louisiana. This was followed shortly thereafter by deals with Cox Media, Spartan Outdoor Advertising, Leslie Outdoor, InSite MediaCom and BPS Outdoor Advertising. In 2021, Trailhead expanded its network again by acquiring additional outdoor advertising assets from media operators Dusty’s Outdoor, Wingate Outdoor, Action Outdoor, and Southern Billboards.
While our growth story has currently been focused on the southeastern United States, our ambition is national. We will continue to expand our network by identifying, acquiring, and operating well-run out of home media companies in attractive local markets from coast to coast.
Trailhead Media may be a brand-new company, but our legacy is substantial. Every company that we’ve integrated into the Trailhead family has brought its own talented people, practices and customer relationships, adding to our culture and strengthening our DNA. Honoring the past while leaning into our vision for the future, Trailhead Media will build on this legacy by exploring new ideas, trying new things, embracing new technologies, and delivering a flawless product.
We are committed to delivering the perfect outdoor media canvas to our clients, while helping them become better marketers. This is what defines us as a company, because we know that when our customers succeed, we succeed.
