In 1967 the company manager, Gertrude Adams, purchased the business from Ed Rutledge and the name was changed to Adams Outdoor Advertising. For the next 20 years the company tripled in size to be the largest in the region to offer Outdoor Billboards. By then, Gertrude's daughter, Joy Adams Kay, had joined the business and began managing Adams Outdoor Advertising with her husband Jerome.
It was not until 1998, that upon the request of Wal-Mart, that the company became a WBE (Woman Business Enterprise) certified by the State of North Carolina. Joy inquired what other companies could benefit from this certification and found that General Contractors were requesting pricing from WBE firms for public projects.
With the Adams Outdoor having a background already in the signage industry, the company was given representation rights by many vendors for North and South Carolina regions and a new division of Adams Outdoor Advertising was formed.Joy successfully built the business into a leader of the ADA Signage industry for the Carolina's, taking on the full division for supplying and installing all signage required.
