Honoring Black Creative Excellence

To celebrate Black History Month in 2023, OUTFRONT partnered with Advertising Age to honor Black creative excellence. Together they are showcasing some of the industry’s most creative talent on billboards across the country for the month of February.

Each billboard will feature a photo of a creative executive making an impact on the industry, their title and social media handle. In transit and street-level locations, the campaign will also include a QR code that will direct commuters to learn more about the full Black Creative Excellence series on AdAge.com.

To kick off, OUTFRONT’s own East Regional Creative Director and artist of the award winning “Black Heart” campaign, Tim Waskicki, will be AdAge’s first guest editor. In total, AdAge will be featuring five Guest Editors. The other guest editors include Billy Porter, the Emmy, Tony and Grammy Award-winning actor, singer, director, composer and playwright, will serve as a guest editor, along with Translation CEO Steve Stoute, Birk Creative CEO JinJa Birkenbeuel and Kin Co-founder Kwame Taylor-Hayford.

As the most visible platform in America, we have a profound opportunity to positively impact the people and businesses within the communities in which our canvases exist. This campaign is an example of OUTFRONT’s unique role in driving cultural impact by being embedded into the fabric of our communities.
