Clear Channel Outdoor (NYSE:CCO) Holdings Inc. is a leading global out-of-home (OOH) advertising company offering a wide range of outdoor media solutions. Through its two operating segments—Clear Channel Outdoor Americas and Clear Channel Outdoor Europe—the company provides large-format billboards, street furniture, transit displays, airport advertising and premium digital out-of-home (DOOH) networks. Clear Channel’s diversified portfolio spans traditional poster displays and cutting-edge digital screens, allowing advertisers to engage consumers in key urban and suburban markets worldwide.
With a presence in more than 30 countries across five continents, Clear Channel Outdoor serves major markets in North and South America, Western and Eastern Europe, and select regions of Asia Pacific. In North America, the company’s footprint includes static and digital roadside billboards, transit shelters and retail mall networks.

The company’s digital capabilities include programmatic buying, dynamic creative optimization and location-based audience measurement tools designed to maximize campaign efficiency.
Founded in 1972 as part of the broader Clear Channel communications group, the outdoor advertising division was spun off and publicly listed on the NYSE in 2005 under the ticker CCO. Over the decades, Clear Channel Outdoor has evolved its technology stack and expanded its global footprint through strategic partnerships and acquisitions. The company’s longstanding industry expertise is complemented by proprietary research methodologies, including geospatial analytics and proprietary audience insights, which help clients plan, execute and measure OOH campaigns.
Led by CEO William Eccleshare and a team of regional executives, Clear Channel Outdoor is focused on innovation, sustainability and data-driven growth. The company has committed to reducing its environmental impact through energy-efficient digital displays and recycled materials for traditional signage. By combining high-quality inventory with advanced technology solutions, Clear Channel Outdoor aims to deliver measurable results and creative out-of-home experiences for advertisers in an increasingly connected world.
