Bartlesville-based Keleher Outdoor Advertising has been acquired by Link Media Outdoor, a large Georgia-based advertising company that operates billboards in 13 states.
Founded in 1975, Keleher Outdoor grew to operate more than 600 billboards throughout Oklahoma and southeast Kansas. Dan Keleher, Jr., who took over the business from his father, also started and works as principal architect in Keleher Architecture.
Link Media Human Resources director Robin Karp said the deal came about when Link Media was looking to expand into Oklahoma and Keleher and his wife, Janie Keleher, were looking to retire from the billboard business.

The companies shared some service area in Kansas, but Link Media had yet to establish business in Oklahoma.
“We are always looking to expand our global footprint, but we do it in a meticulous way. We don’t acquire other companies just to be larger,” Karp said.
“(Janie and Dan Keleher) had set up a wonderful organization … In doing our due diligence and speaking with the Kelehers, it just was a perfect fit for us.”
The company’s sale was finalized on Friday. Link Media does not plan to lay off staff who stay on through the transition, Karp said.
“We found a quality buyer with Link. We believe they share our sense of community and values for the type of markets we’ve done business in. We look forward to having them in Oklahoma,” Dan Keleher said in a press release.
