Around the world
JCDecaux was founded in 1964 when Jean-Claude Decaux devised the concept of funding public services via advertising revenue. From a single bus shelter contract for the city of Lyon in France, JCDecaux has grown to Europe's largest out-of-home advertising company, and the second largest in the world.
