Are hub-cap ads the wheel deal?

Cannes Lions is where the biggest ideas take center stage. Join ADWEEK for must-see conversations, top industry leaders, and the moments everyone will be talking about.

For advertisers looking to take the “spin” out of their messaging, may we direct your attention to the hub caps of 150 taxis in Texas. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, those cabs are bearing hub caps advertising the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA. And the ads don’t spin. Discs mounted on hubs weighted with pendulums remain locked and steady, even at high speeds, according to AdFleet, the Santa Monica, Calif., company that designed the devices. AdFleet launched its cab caps first in Southern California for clients such as Taco Bell, Los Angeles Dodgers, Virgin Cola, Jiffy Lube and 1800CheapSeats.com.
