“Our industry’s common goal is to increase the investment made in OOH, and I have long been a believer that Geopath’s solid foundation of trusted audience insights is a critical component of how we do that,” said Stratford. “I am honored to have the opportunity to support the organization in this new capacity on the Board and look forward to working together to bring more dollars to OOH.”
