Today, the company handles sales and marketing for a wide portfolio of static and digital billboards and directional and informational signage all throughout Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee. Currently, MediaChoice has an inventory of more than 1,300 sign faces across over 400 locations. The company also creates a myriad of public service announcements through its billboards and digital media applications. MediaChoice is still expanding and hopes to bring its business to many more states across the entire country. Annually, the company reports that it receives over $35 million in revenue from over 15,000 advertisers while managing more than 30,000 sign positions and faces.
MediaChoice attributes its success in the business and high customer satisfaction rates to four key company values: experience, relationship building, technology, and innovation. For experience and relationship building, the company attests that its staff possess “unparalleled knowledge, professionalism, and a commitment to delivering superior service to clients and sponsors” and that they develop personable, long-term relationships with whoever they work with. On the front of technology and innovation, MediaChoice says that they always use the latest OOH tech and are always in a continuous state of innovation and improvement that ensures the continuing satisfaction of its clients.
In addition to these four principles, MediaChoice’s strategic industry partnerships also allow it to flourish and its clients to get the service that they need. Companies that MediaChoice partners with include LoneStar Logos Texas, Texas Emergency Network, WhereTech App, and more. Companies that advertise with MediaChoice include big-name brands such as Buc-ees, Rolex, Splashway, Budweiser, Whataburger, and many more.
