Mediaplanet Teams up with Academy of Art University in Saluting Our Veterans with “Thanking Our Troops” Campaign
(PRWEB) November 06, 2015 -- With Veterans Day fast approaching, Mediaplanet is enlisting Tom Selleck and The USO the Academy of Art University, among others, to foster wider awareness of the importance of marking off more than just one day on the calendar to let our troops know their service and sacrifice do not go unnoticed.
The print component of “Thanking Our Troops” is distributed within this weekend’s edition of USA Today, with a circulation of approximately 450,000 copies and an estimated readership of 1.3 million. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets.

Actor and veteran Tom Selleck is featured on the cover of the print publication. Inside, he discusses his experience serving in the California National Guard during the Vietnam era. Says Selleck, “I was proud to serve my country, but there seemed to be a consensus that we needed to blame the soldier or sailor for government policy. That went away over time, and I think that’s a great lesson.”
This campaign was made possible with support from Academy of Art University, a Yellow Ribbon participant and strong supporter of military and veteran students.
