Central Islip, NY (PRWEB) August 19, 2013 -- On August 19, nationwide car wraps manufacturer, JMR Graphics, comments on Citi Bank’s successful advertising for their Citi Bike. The emergence of Citi Bike in New York City, as a flourishing branded utility, is helping to promote a more positive image for Citi Bank.
According to an August 16, 2013 article published by Digiday, entitled, “Citi Gets Serious Brand Mileage From Citi Bike” the bike-share program, Citi Bike has become popular in New York City, since its launch in May 2012. Riders have logged in about 3 million miles, making over 1.5 million trips. The program’s 6,000 bicycles have acted as a useful functional outdoor advertising for Citi Bank.
