This full-service model allows both national brands and local businesses to customize their outdoor campaigns and target specific demographics across multiple markets. Geographically, Lamar operates more than 420,000 displays across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Its digital billboard footprint spans over 125 major metropolitan areas, positioning the company to capitalize on the ongoing shift toward programmatic and data-driven out-of-home media. These digital assets offer advertisers real-time flexibility, dynamic creative delivery and integration with mobile and social platforms, enhancing audience engagement and campaign measurability. Leadership at Lamar is headed by President and Chief Executive Officer Sean Reilly, who joined the company in 2014 and assumed the CEO role in 2016.
