FedEx/Kinkos hired New Age Marketing to promote their services to college students across 31 New England colleges. The strategy involved placing advertising materials like posters, table tents, door hangers, and distributing frisbees across campus. The campaign ran for 4 months in the fall/spring and targeted over 215,000 students. It resulted in nearly 15 million impressions and met FedEx/Kinkos' return on investment expectations.
