OFIC Advertising to Start Running March 12, 2005 on Ohio News Network

March 11, 2005

The 13 week OFIC advertising campaign to be aired on Ohio News Network (ONN) will begin March 12, 2005. This advertising campaign, to raise the visibility of OFIC and its member institutions, was approved by the OFIC Marketing Committee and Board of Trustees. The cost of developing the 30-second commercial and its broadcasting over the coming weeks is being underwritten by a generous grant from Wolfe Associates, Inc.

The commerical was produced by ONN at Ohio Wesleyan University, using an Ohio Wesleyan University student, and includes campus footage from several of our colleges. The complete package will be 442 thirty- second spots to air from March 12 through June 12, 2005. Please be watching on ONN for these spots!
