CCBC debuts new fleet of “admobiles”

Baltimore County, Md. – In an effort to help faculty and staff save on personal car use and gas as well as stretch its advertising dollars, the Community College of Baltimore County has converted 12 college vans and cars to “admobiles” and is taking the college's "I am CCBC" advertising message to the highways.

Since CCBC is a single college with multiple campuses, employees often travel to other college sites for meetings, classes and activities. These new "admobiles" will provide an ongoing opportunity to advertise CCBC throughout the metropolitan area.

The vehicle wraps highlight the key messages of CCBC's incredible value, quality and convenience as well as specific program options, via oversized images of current students, graduates and faculty, accompanied by their signatures and testimonials.
Each of the three main campuses (CCBC Catonsville, CCBC Dundalk and CCBC Essex) has two “ad-wrapped” cars and two “ad-wrapped” vans.
