FINDLAY, OHIO – MARCH 4, 2003 – COOPER TIRE & RUBBER COMPANY (NYSE: CTB) today announced it has entered into a promotional agreement with the Ohio News Network (ONN), The Ohio State University, and the Big Ten Conference to distribute free “Perfect Season” posters at Cooper Tire dealers throughout Ohio.
The 19” x 25” posters feature the game scores of the Buckeyes’ perfect season in scarlet and gray, as well as the Ohio State and national championship logos.
Patricia Brown, vice president of advertising and communications, said the posters support a team that has gone above and beyond the call of duty, exemplifying the values of the Ohio-based Cooper Tire and Rubber Company. “Throughout the season, OSU never gave up, never stopped trying to improve. Our highly motivated team and dealers operate in a similar way every day. The posters are Cooper’s way of celebrating this achievement, and to thank Cooper customers for their loyalty,” she said.
Posters are available while supplies last at participating Ohio Cooper Tire dealers. Call your local Cooper dealer for more information.
