Award-winning Advertising
Campaign Begins Second Year
 |
| One of the billboards on display this
fall |
The second year of the University's award-winning
ad campaign--"Live it. Learn it."--is underway. Starting
this month, look for our TV commercial on numerous channels within
the Cablevision and Comcast systems. Also this fall, ads will appear
on buses running from Passaic, Hudson, and Bergen counties to New
York City.
Billboards will go up throughout Monmouth, Burlington, and Camden
counties--and we don't think you'll miss two large bulletins on
the Turnpike north at Exits 6/7 and 12. Cinema advertising has also
been added to the mix in these counties, further expanding our geographic
range.
Newspaper ads will run twice a year in higher education supplements
in the Star-Ledger, Record/Herald News, and New
Jersey’s six Gannett newspapers including the Daily Record
(Morris County), the Asbury Park Press (Monmouth and Ocean
counties), Ocean County Observer, the Courier-Post
(Camden County), the Home-News Tribune (Middlesex County)
and the Courier-News (Somerset County).
