UGA Billboards Target Recruits

Pro bowl Georgia billboardsThe University of Georgia has changed their billboard designs this month to stay front and center with new recruits…they are highlighting their Pro Bowl alums in the NFL.  Todd Gurley with the St. Louis Rams, Justin Houston with the Kansas City Chiefs, Thomas Davis with the Carolina Panthers, A.J. Green and Geno Atkins with the Cincinnati Bengals are featured in the campaign.  Billboards all over the Atlanta area feature images of all of the Pro Bowlers, as well as each player having his own billboard.

On the roads leading to Athens, another billboard campaign is welcoming the new head coach…that design features a picture of Kirby Smart with the phrase, “Welcome Home.”  The campaigns want to keep UGA fresh in the minds of potential recruits.

UGA Changes Billboards to Rally Fans

Bama Campaign on Atlanta billboardsTomorrow will be Showdown Saturday in the SEC for the University of Georgia as they take on their biggest rival, the University of Alabama.   In August, UGA began a digital billboard campaign on more than 40 boards around Atlanta to recruit prospects for the school.  This week, to rally their fan base, UGA has converted some of their Atlanta digital billboards to include a “Beat Bama” message.  The teams will meet for what is considered the biggest game of the season on Saturday.  UGA comes into the contest undefeated, while Bama has lost one.  Although the Bulldogs haven’t beaten the Crimson Tide since 2007, they are the favorite to win tomorrow.  Kick off is scheduled for 3:30 in Athens.
