Out of home advertising has a special place in ECP’s heart. It’s where the big idea conveys a singular message in its most distilled form. We are deeply engaged in the industry, are founding members of the OAAA creative committee and are 79-time finalists and 21-time OBIE winners. We are regarded as one of the best out of home shops in the country, and members of our staff have lead the creative departments of some of the largest public and private outdoor companies in the U.S., which are still our clients to this day. Here are a few examples:
