From highways to city streets, shopping malls to major sporting venues, outdoor advertising reaches people where they work, live and play. It can't be turned off, fast forwarded, thrown away or skipped to the next page. Our national expansion program has reached the point where Alkaline88 is on shelves at local stores in many major markets across the nation, and now is the time to spread the word in an effective and powerful way. We will be watching the results in California keenly and look forward to developing and rolling out a national campaign based on the results."
