Link Media Outdoor Acquires Another OOH Company
In the last 6 months, we have fielded questions from many of you about Link Media Outdoor.
The two most often asked questions: Are they for real? Do they have the money?
My answer to both questions is, yes.
- Link Media has the leadership with Jim McLaughlin.⇐Check out Jim’s LinkedIn profile.
He knows the OOH ropes. - The financials appear to be on solid ground as a subsidiary of Boston Omaha Corporation, (BOMN). One of the managers of the investment vehicle is Alex Buffett Rozek. Yes, that Buffett. Rozek is the grandnephew of Warren Buffett. BOMN’s management is very upfront that Warren Buffett is not directly involved with their company.
- They have been hiring experienced OOH talent.
I would ask this: Is a larger OOH company acquisition on the horizon for Link?
Yes, to that question as well. Perhaps something where the little fish swallows the bigger fish,
in early 2019? Speculation on my part.
McLaughlin is a horse to back. His latest acquisition is Tammy Lynn Outdoor.
Details on Tammy Lynn follow in the official press release.
