Face Masks Placed on Government Cars to Promote Mask-Wearing

August 5, 2020 – WILMINGTON, Delaware – Carvertise, Inc., a rideshare-based transit advertising company, announced the launch of its #TeamMASK advertising campaign with the New Castle County Government in an effort to promote the continued importance of mask-wearing to stop the spread of COVID-19.  

As a part of this initiative, eleven high-mileage county vehicles, including the County Executive’s very own car, were selected to don gigantic custom-made “Car Masks” that fit over the grill of the vehicles. The vehicles also prominently feature a #TeamMASK slogan on both driver and passengers sides, to proudly state the county’s position on wearing face masks to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The county vehicles selected are a medley of paramedic and public works sedans and trucks that will be seen at COVID-19 testing sites, public parks, and construction sites. Each vehicle travels a minimum of 1,100 miles a month which will create an estimated 82,500 monthly impressions, according to Carvertise’s proprietary impression calculating algorithm. For the duration of this three-month advertising campaign, 2.7 million impressions will be created generating significant reach and frequency throughout the entire county. 

Carvertise CEO, Mac Macleod, stated “New Castle County has become the first government entity in the country to transform their fleet of vehicles into moving billboards promoting public safety messaging specific to COVID-19. Not only does the creativity of the face masks make it memorable, but it is also highly cost-efficient. These vehicles are driving around the county everyday as it is; now, however, they’re holding the dual purpose of marketing to county residents. That’s a 2-for-1 benefit.” 

“The #TeamMASK campaign is a great way for us to drive home an important public safety message to our county residents,” said Matt Meyer, County Executive, New Castle County, Delaware.  “What better way to show a sense of community spirit and pride around public mask compliance than to have these larger-than-life face masks adorned to our highest mileage vehicles? I’m highly confident this will get people thinking and talking about mask-wearing,” said Meyer.

Macleod added, “This is innovative advertising at its finest. It’s creative, it’s memorable, it’s culturally relevant, it’s reaching the right audience, and it’s effectively communicating the right message through the use of humor. Everyone who sees these cars stops in their tracks, takes a picture of it, and understands the message being promoted. Big kudos to New Castle County for being bold enough to be first.”

#TeamMASK wraps and Carvertise’s gigantic “Car Masks”, are available in all 50 states and can be leveraged by other government and healthcare entities looking to make a big marketing splash in their communities.

Turning Heads with Graphics that “Wow!”

Compelling a reaction with graphics is no small feat.  Accomplishing it can pay dividends.  So I thought I would explore some examples we at Carvertise have helped put on the road, and elaborate a bit on what can make a captured audience say “Wow!”

Flight of Fancy

A creative approach to our form of out-of-home advertising and a clever way of catching attention is using imagery you may not normally find at ground-level.  So when Norwegian Air came to us with their design, we were… well floored!  The bright red of their branding in contrast with the stark blue sky already successfully catches the eye.  The clever use of one of their planes breaking across the red cloud and flying into the blue sky creates a dynamic visual.  A moment of flight captured and suspended on the side of the car adds a level of ‘cool’ to the graphic.  The dual sense of a “getaway” really makes this clean, successful advertisement.

Dramatic Performance

Ever get the feeling someone is looking at you?  Of course you have, but has an advertisement ever triggered that response for you?  Cirque Du Soleil’s wrap certainly accomplished that!  The world-renowned circus showed exactly what they’re known for with this advertisement. Wonderfully energetic, colorful, and often dramatic shows, played out by their talented and intense performers, is put on full display on this wrap.  The “Wow!” and “Whoa!” responses to this advertisement were always similarly energetic.

Money Talks

Everyone likes a little more green in their pockets, something Carvertise is a huge proponent of.  So when DraftKings came to us looking to expand their advertising campaign, we were delighted to see what they had come up with. This is a great example of an advertisement doing something visually out of the ordinary, multiplying its ability to capture attention.  The bright green pops and catches your eye as soon as it comes into sight.  Then you see 5-dollar-bill Abe Lincoln sporting a bright orange hat and headphones and he’s immediately the coolest guy in the crowd.  This bright and to-the-point design turned heads everywhere it went.

A Different Ride

We’ve all had a “double-take” moment, where we have to look twice at something to make sure we’re seeing things correctly. Dutchess County Tourism’s advertising campaign did a fantastic job of this by utilizing our product in a special way. Which car is real?! Lining up just right with the driver’s car, utilizing the sheen of the materials, we get a vision of what FDR looked like in his Lincoln Model-K.  Designing the advertisement to take advantage of this canvas is one of the many advantages to this medium.  This clever use of the wrap was an immediate head-turner.

Make a Splash

Our eyes are drawn to movement and action even more so when bright colors are in involved.  When an advertisement like Ricciardi’s comes along and combines those aspects with a solid and clear message, the results are mesmerizing.  The bright blue paint splashing down the car as if actually spilled is a brilliant use of a concept that resonates with everyone. The easily legible branding and messaging communicates clearly to those now captured by the ad’s imagery.  This remains one of my favorite wraps we’ve done to date.  The movement and color are so vibrant, the design so dynamic, that it still catches my attention.  I can’t help but put it up on a pedestal for ‘cool’ and ‘wow!’
