How did you Maloney enter the outdoor advertising business?
In the early 80s when interest rates hit 18-20% I was in industrial sales. My sister told me about a job opening at Naegele Outdoor Advertising. I worked there in sales for about five years. Then, I started out on my own and created Maloney Outdoor Advertising.
What’s the Louisville outdoor market like?
Louisville is a dynamic market for outdoor. We have a thriving diverse community of small businesses in the market as well as major industries like the bourbon distilleries and the UPS World Hub. Louisville is most well known for The Kentucky Derby held each May at Churchill Downs. The Derby brings millions of visitors to Louisville each year.
Do you have any digital signs?
We don’t have any digital signs. We are currently focused on static billboards since they provide 24/7 exposure for our clients.
