Anstey Hodge Turns Office Façade Into COVID-19 Public Service Announcement

Roanoke, Va. (April 10, 2020) – Local advertising agency Anstey Hodge turned the front of its office façade into a COVID-19 public service announcement. 

The ad firm created two large banners that are visible from Exit 5 off Interstate 581 in Roanoke.

The banner messages focus on “social distancing,” including: 

  1. “Apart. We Are United.”
  2. “Do your part by staying apart.”

The “Do your part by staying apart.” banner shows the Anstey Hodge logo taken apart into pieces, which is similar to what national brands like McDonald’s and Audi have done as part of a public service campaign to promote social distancing.   

“We wanted to do our part by promoting public safety and encourage social distancing,” says John Anstey, agency president. “It was a good outlet for our creative team during this stressful time and we were all proud to see the banners go up.”

Anstey Hodge is an award-winning, full-service advertising and marketing firm based in Roanoke, Virginia.  The agency’s work has received local, regional, and national accolades from the American Advertising Federation, The Public Relations Society of America, the International Academy of Visual Arts.
