Originally founded in 1971, Signs, Etc. grew by leaps and bounds in the South Florida area and was originally purchased/merged into Ackerley Billboards in 1987. After it’s merger, a newly formed Design Graphics was spearheaded and took stance in Broward and Palm Beach counties. After many years, it was acquired, in whole, by Republic Media. Following this, a new company was formed as Vision Out of Home Media, which concentrated as an Operations management company for Republic media and later was born into Vision Outdoor Advertising. Vision OA has various billboards throughout NW Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina and Medellin, Colombia helping both local businesses and national brands reach broad audiences every day.
