CLEAR CHANNEL OUTDOOR SUPPORTS FBI NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT
AMERICA'S TRADE SECRETSMajor Market Digital Billboard Campaign Alerts Public to Impact of
$13 Billion Annual Industrial Espionage Problem
Clear Channel Outdoor Americas (NYSE: CCO) is committing its resources
and support to a Federal
Bureau of Investigation campaign to bring nationwide attention to
the impact of industrial espionage, a crime that costs the country $13
billion a year and does irreparable harm to U.S. business and the public
at large.
A series of stark and striking digital billboards and bus shelters have
gone on display for a two-week period that began Friday, May 11, in
cities and major markets including: New York/New Jersey, Washington
D.C./Baltimore; Chicago; Boston; San Francisco; Miami; Salisbury,
Maryland; and Columbus, Ohio. These regions of the country were
specifically chosen due to their concentration of high-tech research and
development companies, laboratories, major industries, and national
defense contractors.
This campaign is the most recent demonstration of the ways in which
Clear Channel Outdoor regularly partners with local and national law
enforcement agencies to support emergency situations such as amber
alerts and their public service campaigns to fight crime. Clear Channel
Outdoor's partnership with the FBI began in 2007. As of February 2012,
there have been at least 42 dangerous and violent fugitives apprehended
or turned in as a result of a photograph on a CCO digital billboard. In
addition, dozens of missing children have either been found, or a tip
has been generated to help find them, as a direct result of support
provided on CCO digital billboards. Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc.
is the parent company of Clear Channel Outdoor Americas.
“Clear Channel is proud to support the FBI's effort to stem trade secret
theft which is a serious and growing threat to our country's economic
health and security,” says Bryan Parker, Clear Channel Outdoor Executive
VP of Real Estate and Public Affairs. “Outdoor advertising, and
especially digital billboards, are committed to supporting national and
local law enforcement because we command the public's attention in
singular ways that makes it ideally suited to these kinds of public
service campaigns.”
