C
I Host Counts Down to Bullish 2004, Rings in New Year
on Times Square
Jumbo TVs [22nd December 2003]
BEDFORD,
TX (December 22, 2003) - C I Host, a global leader in
Web hosting, Internet infrastructure and software development,
will launch an aggressive television blitz on Dec. 23
in Times Square, the pulse of the United States holiday
season.
"C
I Host is known for crazy deals on the Web and zany
promotions," said Christopher Faulkner, CEO of
C I Host. "We're using the Jumbotron screens in
Times Square to announce that C I Host and the American
economy are going to have a huge 2004! It's a simple
plan: Be in Times Square! Be seen by millions!"
Beginning
Dec. 23, C I Host television ads - a total of 220 60:second
spots -- will "air" live in full-motion video
on the huge ABC and NBC screens overlooking Times Square.
Traffic in the area is estimated to be 2 million per
day . a marketing coup for any holiday campaign.
"If
there is a great, economical media opportunity, we will
find it," Faulkner said. "And, the fact that
our ads are playing to the people of the greatest, most
influential city on earth makes this an extra special
holiday treat."
The
ads state that C I Host can help with "Whatever
you want to do on the Web," just as it has helped
its 200,000 customers around the world.
C
I Host turned heads earlier this month, as its Human
Billboard received newspaper coverage across the country
- complete with color photos of the gentleman who now
has a 5X5 color tattoo of C I Host's logo on the back
of his head.
C
I Host astounded the marketing world in 1999, when it
blazed new marketing territory by placing its logo on
the boxing trunks of Heavyweight Evander Holyfield.
That "gamble" rewarded C I Host with hundreds
of television shots, over and over before a pay-per-view
audience of 800 million viewers worldwide.
