OOH…Here’s One Thing
Managing Director, Johnsen, Fretty & Company
Sunday…another Sunday… I mean, what’s to complain about in the billboard business these days?
R.O. Naegele once said, “Never ever call it a billboard”.
I still wrestle with that word, but man, does it nail it for the accidental tourist. I have said “out-of-home advertising” to the “let me in” private equity guys. Crickets. And oftentimes I find myself saying “outdoor” to the family office guy looking for an “edge”. His response…” No, we have already looked at roll-ups in the landscaping space”.
“Never ever call it a billboard”
Now that I have gotten that off my shoulders…here is to all the fathers out there. Both to the biological fathers, as well as anyone who has mentored anyone else to a higher place. At the end of the day, we all stand on someone else’s shoulders. We never got here alone. I challenge anyone who believes they did it alone. So today, remember to that that person whose shoulders rose you above. And be vigilant. Because someone else needs your shoulders to reach further than you ever could.

I’ve long since retired and my sons moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, “I’d like to see you if you don’t mind”
He said, “I’d love to, dad, if I could find the time”
“You see, my new job’s a hassle and the kids got the flu
But it’s sure nice talking to you, dad
It’s been sure nice talking to you”
