Ever heard the “if a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make any sound?” question?
So, if a joyful billboard goes up in a city and people don’t comment on it, is it spreading any joy? The answer is YES. But fortunately we know this because people do comment on the billboards and tell us it makes them happy. Yay!
Here’s what people are saying about The Joy Team.
Here’s some press we’ve received from the media.
February 2018 marks 8 years of spreading joy, optimism and inspiration for The Joy Team. In that time, we've put up 1,500 positive messages on billboards, bus shelters, buildings, and schools. That equates to 375 million smiles. Other happy projects include the international Chalk the Walks, which happens the 3rd Tuesday of August every year. Learn more about The Joy Team and how you can use positive messages to make the world a happier place at TheJoyTeam.org. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter at @thejoyteam and on Instagram at @the.joy.team Special thanks to Clear Channel Outdoor, Pacific Outdoor, Adams Outdoor, JCDecaux North America, Lamar and all our amazing donors who make these smiles possible.
Excellent young Lady! Easy to navigate and very informative….proud of you and the Joy Team! bg
Recently the Joy Team left notes of encouragement from school children along with two pieces of candy in each bus drivers personal mailbox in the Vancouver School District.
I can tell you it brought smiles to our faces as we came in from a long and weary day. We enjoyed the morsels of candy while reading the delightful notes from the students. I actually heard one driver say “this is going on my fridge!” They were precious, very thoughtful and caring words. They really meant something to us. So for all of us at Transportation, Thank You! You made our day something special and truly brought us a little JOY!

Kathy, I’m so glad you all enjoyed them! Thank YOU for all you do for the kids every day. 🙂
I pass your boards daily and I’m always intrigued. Who would spend so much money to make other people happy? If you want to believe there’s hope for the world you just have to see this. Thank you for putting a smile on my face every day. (Also, your one about “like a boss” made me laugh b/c I thought,…hmm, I am a boss, that’s right, and that’s a good thing! As an entrepreneur, sometimes we forget that it can be cool to be a boss sometimes…as we slog through the trials of owning a biz.)
And ps – if you ever want free marketing help…you got it!
Count your blessings on Hwy 79, PCB, FL this morning made my day! Keep up the good work.
How do I reach you awesome people?
I’ve been having a really rough week, nothing really seems to make sense, and I don’t seem to fit in anywhere…loneliness has been really affecting me lately and I found myself wondering if there was even a point to living anymore. Would anyone miss me? Would anyone care? It felt like there wasn’t a place for me here…and I felt nothing could really change my mind. That is until I saw a bright yellow billboard that said “We all belong.” Thank you for that billboard, and thank you for this project.
