Oh wait and what does this have to do with DOOH ?

How is this relevant? Simple: Bill has been a huge advocate of DOOH over the past several years. It was Bill’s leadership that took Titan aggressively into digital, pioneering digital on buses and rail properties. He is a true mover and shaker, and I was honored to get to work with him. He’s always one to keep an eye on! –Lou
