City of Renton ad aired before national anthem in Superbowl

2008 Written by Randy Corman

We had great placement for our City of Renton ad during yesterday’s superbowl. While we had paid for placement in the pregame coverage, they played our ad as the last local ad prior to the National Anthem. Sweet! (As a reminder, this ad was paid for through the hotel/motel tax, which is earmarked for promoting Renton as a destination)
