Attorney Advertising Spotlight: Yankees and Mets Baseball

subway series advertising

Spring training is already underway, which means the 2014 Major League Baseball season is almost upon us. The New York Metropolitan area boasts two teams with fan bases among the league’s largest. The New York Yankees and New York Mets both have captivating story lines that are sure to attract millions of viewers throughout the season. The Yankees have a cast of newcomers who hope to get team captain Derek Jeter one last championship ring in his final season of play. The Mets hope rising homegrown stars, such as Zack Wheeler, will combine with established veterans, such as David Wright and Curtis Granderson, to get the team back into the postseason for the first time since 2006. The baseball season is a long one, which provides attorneys with ample opportunity to reach large audiences with their advertisements. Cablevision is offering two advertising packages to be broadcast over both the Yankees and Mets television networks, starting on March 31st.
