When? Two-month contract, but was extended for free

Where? Six bus stops around Las Vegas

Why? To reach a variety of commuters in a large, bold, direct way

How? Contracted with the transit advertising firm for two months, but the signs stayed up longer because the space wasn’t purchased by another advertiser.

More… The church created very large, Stillspeaking-branded bus shelter signs for urban areas, which catch the attention of drivers, pedestrians and of course, bus passengers. As with billboards, they may stay posted longer if another advertiser doesn’t reserve them. The signs are a bold reminder of the Stillspeaking welcome, especially to those living or working in urban areas. Other transit advertising opportunities are the posters inside buses and the various-size decals covering the outsides of buses, and in some cities, the face of the paper or plastic weekly and monthly passes.
