About AvPro Worldwide
AvPro Worldwide (www.avproworldwide.com) is one of the nation’s leading aerial and ambient advertising firms, with projects that encompass more than a dozen markets at a time. With clients that have included Reebok, McDonalds, JEEP and NASCAR, the AvPro name and market share has increased dramatically. The firm got its start when, 20 years ago, Martin Allen founded Aviation Promotions in his native Ireland. The company’s original mission was to fly advertising banners through the skies over Ireland. Eventually, when the economic depression of the early 1980s hit Ireland, he came to America and changed the name to AvPro Outdoor. The firm specialized in traditional aerial banners that are seen flying overhead but was also a leader in developing and implementing the “guerilla marketing” tactic of light projection displays shown on buildings and other surfaces. AvPro Outdoor was a key player in the Clinton-Gore Presidential campaign of 1992, with banners used for marketing messages in key swing states. AvPro Worldwide works with advertising agencies and media buyers, as well as working directly with companies who do their own internal marketing. The firm is a former holder of the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest aerial banner ever flown. The firm maintains headquarters at 57 Wingate Street, Haverhill, MA, as well as an office at the Lawrence Municipal Airport. Today, the firm works with a number of premier advertising agencies, and a number of large corporations. AvPro Worldwide maintains a national network of several hundred pilots for its aerial banner advertising. Messages are available for any occasion.
