The Big Picture: What Billboards Do To Us

Hear about the 5000 year history of billboards, and meet the man behind the “I LOVE YOU JESUS” billboards on I-84 and I-91 here in Connecticut.  And hear about a technology that focuses the audio of a billboard directly to you and only you.  Plus, why one Baltimore resident chose to propose to his girlfriend with a billboard (and how it went).

Join the conversation onFacebook,Twitter, and email.

GUESTS:

  • Gino Sesto is the founder of Dash Two, a Digital and Outdoor Advertising Agency based out of Culver City, CA
  • Juan Carlos Puga & Allison Haley of Baltimore, MD, became engaged after Juan’s billboard proposal
  • Dr. Joseph Pompei is the Founder, President, and CEO of Holosonics, and inventor of Audio Spotlight technology
  • Father Edmund Nadolny has been putting up his positive religious billboards in Connecticut for over 40 years
