Belated Recognition for Advantage Advertising

In August, Advantage Advertising’s work for  the University of Wyoming was recognized by the Bleacher Report in their ranking of the top 50 college football team schedule posters for 2014. Advantage Advertising’s work for Wyoming was ranked number one in the nation by Bleacher Report.

This isn’t the first time Advantage Advertising’s work in the college sports arena has been recognized. In 2012, the agency’s design for the University of Idaho Vandal football schedule poster ranked number four, and last year the design for the Wyoming Cowboys football ranked 17th.

Also, earlier this year, FootballScoop.com ranked Advantage Advertising’s web design work for Wyoming football’s signing day graphics as number three in the nation.

Well done folks. Well done.
