Ad Trend, Inc

Ad-Trend is an out-of-home advertising company and billboard operator serving the Kansas City metropolitan area. Founded in 1983 by Jim Boeh and based in Kansas City, Missouri, the company describes itself as the largest locally owned out-of-home firm in its market. Ad-Trend owns and operates a billboard plant of roughly two hundred advertising faces across the metro, including a substantial number of digital units alongside its static inventory. Most of its plant consists of large fourteen-by-forty-eight-foot bulletins positioned along the major highways and interstates that carry commuters throughout greater Kansas City, giving advertisers high-visibility placements on the region's busiest corridors.

Its digital billboards allow advertisers to rotate messaging, update creative quickly, and share premium locations, while its static bulletins provide continuous, dedicated exposure. Beyond traditional billboards, Ad-Trend offers a range of complementary promotional and out-of-home products, including large-format banner printing, mobile billboards, giant inflatables, searchlights, and helium balloons for events and grand openings. This mix lets the company support both long-term brand campaigns and short-term promotional activations for local and regional advertisers. As an independent, locally owned operator, Ad-Trend emphasizes market knowledge, direct relationships, and flexibility in serving businesses of varying sizes across the Kansas City area.

It controls its own inventory, handling placement and scheduling for clients seeking roadside reach in the metro. The company's operations are headquartered south of Kansas City, and its footprint is concentrated within the surrounding metropolitan region rather than spread nationally, positioning it as a hometown alternative to national billboard companies.
