Ali Horuz came to the United States in 2003, boasting strong entrepreneurial skills and a focused mindset to become a successful businessman. After working as a Pedicab driver for two years, his skillset and positive attitude led to the development of VIP Outdoor Media, which echoed a business model he envisioned daily, pedaling around San Diego’s vibrant streets. By 2005, Horuz successfully opened his own business, VIP Outdoor Media, in one of the most sought-after markets in the country—beautiful San Diego.
"I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."
-Muhammad Ali
Founder & CEO of VIP Outdoor Media
Ali Horuz started with one Pedicab, and by 2009, had grown his business to become San Diego’s largest Pedicab company. Today, VIP Pedicabs serves as a role model for competitive businesses, inspiring global companies also to act—to go mobile. Horuz has encouraged worldwide corporations and start-ups to invest their business plans in the same concept, construct, and mobile effort. His business model extends beyond local advertising, and now marks a reputable, all-encompassing media source for diverse global companies. Horuz’s dream pulled attendees and corporate sponsors to flow into popular events, such as Comic-Con—an event anticipated each year with hundreds of thousands of visitors—one adorning fun, quirky, and colorful action! VIP is now a proud staple at Comic-Con San Diego, and across the United States with custom fabricated Pedicabs.
San Diego’s beautiful sea-inspired Convention Center now draws companies that this Southern California city had previously turned over to northern neighbors, like Los Angeles. But, now corporate investors and conference attendees come to beautiful and accessible San Diego, because our city features more thrilling things to see and do than anticipated!
Ali Horuz's attention to detail, diligence, and talented staff were featured on CNN’s, “Somebody’s Gotta Do It”, a Mike Rowe segment, which led to serving high profile clients like: ABC, Fox, HP, HBO, Starz, USA Network and Showtime—but there’s more!
His eye-popping, custom-fabricated media fleet is ever-expanding with newly fabricated vehicles, state-of-the-art printers, and innovative concepts to brand and market his clients’ businesses and organizations. We partner, as if these businesses were our own.
