Tips for a great birthday billboard

Keep the words short. Drivers read billboards in seconds, so a name, a big "Happy Birthday," and one short line work best.
Use a clear, bright photo where their face is easy to see.
Plan the moment. Your ad plays in rotation with other ads, so be there during your time slot and have your camera ready to capture the reaction.
