JCDecaux is a global leader in outdoor advertising, offering a comprehensive range of street furniture, transport advertising and billboard solutions. The company’s street furniture division supplies amenities such as bus shelters, public benches, cycle‐sharing systems and public toilets, often integrating digital screens and real‐time information displays. Its transport advertising arm secures exclusive contracts in airports, railway stations and subways, while its large format division deploys billboards and digital panels along highways and in urban centers.
Founded in 1964 by Jean-Claude Decaux, the company pioneered revenue-sharing partnerships with local authorities, transforming the bus shelter into both a civic amenity and an advertising medium. Over subsequent decades, JCDecaux expanded its footprint through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, notably acquiring CBS Outdoor in 2014 to bolster its North American presence. Innovation remains central to the firm’s strategy, with investments in smart city initiatives, interactive displays and data analytics platforms that help advertisers target audiences more effectively.
Today, JCDecaux operates in more than 80 countries across five continents, with major markets in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, North America and Latin America. The company’s networks serve a diverse array of urban environments, ranging from dense metropolitan transit hubs to high‐traffic roadways and retail complexes. This global reach enables advertisers to engage millions of consumers daily through both static and dynamic campaigns.
Still family-managed, JCDecaux is overseen by co-chief executives Jean-Charles Decaux and Jean-François Decaux, who continue to guide its long term vision. The leadership team emphasizes sustainable solutions, including solar-powered street furniture and recycled materials, aligning the company’s growth objectives with evolving environmental and regulatory standards. Through its blend of civic infrastructure and advertising expertise, JCDecaux remains at the forefront of outdoor media innovation.
