The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show
'The Naked Trucker and T-Bones Show,' developed by COMEDY CENTRAL, will premiere January 17th at 10:30 p.m. ET. Comedy vets David Koechner (T-Bones) and David (Gruber) Allen (The Naked Trucker) bring their off-beat characters to television in a free-wheeling, weekly roundup of their cross-country adventures. Before a live audience, they show and tell twisted tales from the road while mixing social commentary, and original tunes (from funk to folk-fried rock) in a one-of-a-kind comedy show that is as diverse as America itself.
'Not only is truck-side advertising an appropriate media selection for our client's upcoming show, it expands the reach of the campaign beyond traditional advertising,' said Robin Rosing, account director at MPG, the agency responsible for the series launch.
In a recent survey, 76 percent of senior executives ranging from CEOs to senior marketing executives were experimenting with alternative media in response to emerging marketing channels altering the landscape of advertising. Non-traditional approaches provide a way to avoid the fragmentation seen in traditional media and more effectively reach specific target audiences. Utilizing new out-of-home advertising formats, combined with traditional television, radio or print will increase the effectiveness of advertising and marketing campaigns. Truck-side advertising provides valuable niche marketing by physically taking the advertisement to the consumer, and in this campaign the medium offers the added benefit of a direct tie-in to the advertiser's message.
