Academy Sports logo for their truck advertising campaign

Summary

Academy Sports, one of the country's oldest and largest sporting retailers operating over 275 locations across the country, was opening a new store in Westfield, Indiana, a suburb in Indianapolis. In order for the store to generate the awareness needed for a successful opening, they launched a three-Mobile Billboards campaign blanketing the area around the store and into the surrounding communities. The other Academy Store location in Indianapolis was temporarily closed so the trucks strategically took routes to ensure those affected by the closer knew where they could find their favorite sports retailer! Generating over 8 Million impressions over 14 weeks, the campaign delivered the high-impact exposure needed for a successful inaugural location launch!
