Kevin Bartanian’s entrepreneurial journey is a compelling narrative of resilience and community engagement. Born in Beirut, Lebanon, he moved to the United States after his mother’s battle with Cancer, which ignited his desire to create meaningful change. His early experiences, from starting a flyer business to participating in a leadership program at Ritz Carlton, laid the groundwork for his later ventures in the advertising industry.

Founding KEVANI emerged from Kevin’s recognition of a gap in the out-of-home advertising market. Under his leadership, KEVANI prioritizes community engagement, offering free advertising space to local nonprofits. This commitment underscores his belief that businesses can positively impact their communities while driving Innovation in advertising.

As the landscape of out-of-home advertising evolves, Kevin has positioned KEVANI to embrace digital transformation and effective measurement strategies. With ambitious plans for expansion into major markets, he aims to create a lasting Legacy that reflects his core values of resilience, service, and excellence. Inspired by Muhammad Ali’s philosophy on tackling the impossible, Kevin’s journey exemplifies the profound intersection of personal experience and entrepreneurial vision.
