About

Layman's Terms: I put brands on billboards. What I Really Do: Founder/CEO of Quan Media Group, offering a modern approach to Out-of-Home advertising for modern brands who want to build a real-world identity. Founded in 2019 and blending ad tech with personalization & experience, we've stayed away from the traditional agency model. With full National - and International reach, Quan focuses on utilizing smart, strategic and measurable OOH to help scale brands - while emphasizing creativity over complacency. From billboards to painted murals to pop up activations to 3D projections, Quan truly does it all. We're quick, we're flexible, we don't care about budget or how often you utilize the channel - and we're REAL good. We simply don't stop. Prior to Quan, I spent 12 years across two of the largest holding companies working on a some of the biggest brands across multiple channels before going all-in on OOH. I've got a Spotify playlist for every day of the week, and believe in iced coffee every day, regardless of the season. Mediocre pickup basketball player. Fastest email responder you'll ever meet.

Quan Media Group is the modern approach to OOH for modern brands who want to build a real-world identity. We don’t believe success in OOH is defined by how much you spend. You need to know where your audience is, have in depth market expertise, and personalized strategy. It’s about creativity over complacency. Quan delivers white glove service to brands looking to curate smart, targeted OOH campaigns. We don’t care about budget. We don’t care how often you buy OOH. We don’t care if you do some OOH buying in-house. We are here to work with you in the way you want to work with us. We’re fast. We’re flexible. Our relentless negotiating leads to incredible rates, added value, and first look opportunities. We’re on a mission to move OOH away from being looked at as just an awareness channel, and more as a performance channel. We emphasize measurement and attribution, and blend personalization with automation perfectly. Quan is the first Out-of-Home concierge.
