Wright Poster Advertising, an outdoor advertising (billboard) company, was our family business. Launched in 1929 by my two great uncles and spanned four generations within the Wright and Campbell families. I started in the business when I was 5 years old sorting and soaking poster paper to get readied for “positing” on the billboard signs through-out southwestern Pennsylvania.I had the opportunity to do everything within the business, from grunt work, maintenance, purchasing, management, and even running the company when my dad was injured. By the late 1990’s we grew the company to have over 100 + billboards and sold it to a national billboard company in 1999. It was one of the best experiences of my life being part of the unique American family business dynamic. I witnessed first-hand the hard work, burdens and frustrations a business can place on a family…and I was also fortunate to experience the perseverance, bonding, life lessons, and ultimately see my grandparents and parents achieve financial freedom.
