SignAd was first established in 1964 by Wesley Gilbreath, Sr. on what he described to be “a wing and a prayer”. Based out of Houston, Texas, SignAd started as a multipurpose sign company tending to all facets of the sign business. The company manufactured, erected and maintained not just billboards, but a variety of signs in its youth. Along the way, SignAd found its niche and success in outdoor advertising, specializing in outdoor bulletins. The company found their purpose and drive in supporting small businesses in and around the Houston area. Helping these small companies to create powerful images on large colorful displays leaving a lasting impression on the consumer driving by.
In a struggling economy in the early 1980’s, Wesley Gilbreath, Sr. retired and Wes Gilbreath, Jr. took over paving a new way for SignAd. The family-owned company was struggling just like the economy; however, Wes Gilbreath, Jr. saw the potential and an opportunity for growth. With a passion for quality outdoor advertising, Wes Jr. transformed SignAd into what it is today, by catering to each customer and their individual advertising needs. His sight for optimism and willingness to serve others has not only benefited their customers and their potential growth, but it has also spilled over to SignAd itself and its growth.
Over the past 59 years, SignAd continues to invest and further expand in Texas and Louisiana by leasing and purchasing real estate. Allowing the company to add to its inventory to meet the advertising needs of not only their local customers throughout Texas, but also for their national customers. SignAd has transformed from a small sign company to the largest independently owned billboard company in Texas. The company proudly owns and operates over 2,600 clean, up-to-date, and prominently located displays throughout Texas and Louisiana.
Today, SignAd is still a family-owned company with Wes Gilbreath, Jr. serving as the President and CEO, along with his daughter, Taylor Gilbreath, the third generation of the family, who is currently head of the company’s Operations Department. With what started off as a small company of just a handful of employees, SignAd now serves over 50 employees, with half of them being employed at SignAd anywhere from 10 years to 43 years. SignAd is a firm believer in having high standards and treating people right, even down to their beloved employees, who have dedicated their careers to the success of SignAd, just how Wes Gilbreath, Jr. envisioned so many years ago.

KEEP IT SIMPLE!
OOH advertisements should be direct, vibrant, and less than 8 words.
MAKE IT POP!
Let the design speak for itself, the right the image can speak louder than words.
KEEP IT UNIQUE!
The louder, brighter and most colorful design will make the biggest impact.
Outdoor advertising has 24-hour exposure and is viewed over and over again reinforcing the product or service attributes. It is a very effective means of reaching the entire population. The sheer size of a billboard creates a powerful visual impact on the audience that cannot be ignored. Unlike other media, outdoor cannot be turned off or thrown away by the consumer.
Billboards provide immeasurable benefits:
Billboards are on display 24/7 – day or night, rain or shine. They’re viewed over and over again, reinforcing the product or services of the advertiser. With the lowest CPM (cost per 1,000 impressions) of any medium, outdoor advertising is the clear choice for those interested in an affordable, high-impact ad campaign.
You control where your message is received. Outdoor advertising allows customers to target or pinpoint certain areas or audiences in which to promote their products or services. Billboards are often the last advertisement viewed before the point-of-purchase and are irreplaceable when giving directional aid to travelers and tourists.
EVERY OUT OF HOME AD DOLLAR GENERATES $5.97 IN SALES
For each dollar spent on out of home (OOH) advertising, an average of $5.97 is generated in product sales, according to a new report released by the Outdoor Advertising Association of America (OAAA). While radio, print, and digital display advertising receive a greater share of campaign dollars in the average media mix, OOH produces a higher return on investment (ROI).
IS IT JUST US, OR ARE BILLBOARDS GETTING BETTER?
The idea that a citizen or company can use billboards to spread a personal message, like McDormand's character does in the movie, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, is suddenly catching fire.
Out of Home is Cheaper Than Facebook
If I were to ask you what’s a cheaper advertising medium than Facebook, you might say Adwords. Maybe you’d say Twitter. But I guarantee you, that the vast majority of everybody reading this article would not say Out of Home, i.e. Billboards.
