Mobile Billboards "really showcase this amazing new advertising
medium; a magazine quality image that is revolutionizing outdoor
advertising. Before this, advertisers had to rely on people driving
by billboards on highways. Now...messages can be brought up close
to people and into the most demographically desirable areas. The
resulting impact and attention generated is unlike anything else
available in the outdoor arena." June 4, 1999
ADWEEK
Mobile Billboards "...are one of the most effective ways to
advertise in the outdoors considering the cost per thousand. Outdoor
billboards require people to stop, to look at the ad. But with trucks,
we take the ad to the people." Feb. 28, 2001
INSIDE OUTDOOR MAGAZINE

and congregate." Feb. 9, 2001
