JCDecaux SE is a French multinational corporation and the world's leading outdoor advertising company, operating in over 80 countries with more than one million advertising panels. Founded in 1964 by Jean-Claude Decaux, who pioneered advertising street furniture—a model where advertisers fully fund well-maintained public amenities like bus shelters—the company specializes in three core segments: Street Furniture, featuring bus stops, kiosks, and information panels; Transport advertising in land networks and airports; and Billboard advertising, including neon signs and wraps. Headquartered in Neuilly-sur-Seine near Paris and majority-owned by the Decaux family, JCDecaux employs around 12,000 people and generates most revenue outside France, particularly in Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, and other regions. Its innovative, sustainable business model enhances urban environments by providing free services to cities, such as bicycle-sharing systems like Cyclocity in dozens of global cities, while serving advertisers from local to international scales. As a key player in the advertising industry, JCDecaux shapes out-of-home media through high-quality, environmentally conscious infrastructure.
