Clear Gears Up to Show Philly Some LOVE!

November 2nd, 2009

The time is almost here…we’re just a few days away from CLEAR’s colossal launch in the city of brotherly love! In anticipation of the launch, over the past few weeks CLEAR has been showing Philadelphia some major love!

LOVE Park Balloon Tease, Philadelphia

LOVE Park Balloon Tease, Philadelphia

Aside from introducing Philadelphians to CLEAR’s 4G network with our impressive demos, many folks have been flying high this week with our balloon teases that have been taking place all across the city. For 10 days leading up to launch, balloons have been strategically placed in areas like LOVE Park, Temple University and outside Geno’s Steaks in South Philly. The objective–pop a balloon and you win a prize! So make sure you keep your eye out for those green balloons! Speaking of balloons, on Friday folks taking a drive along the Schuylkill Riveron 76 would have seen quite a sight, the 80-foot-tall CLEAR Hot Air Balloon was flying high as commuters headed to work.

Another exciting attraction that happened this weekend aside from CLEAR’s aerial banner flying high over the World Series and the Eagles game is the famed LOVE Park fountain turning GREEN!! Now that’s not something you see every day. And if you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard about our huge launch event happening this week in LOVE Park, then you don’t know that LOVE Park is now one massive HOTSPOT! That’s right! Folks who come to the park can now try out CLEAR’s 4G network themselves to see what all the hype is about! One thing Philadelphians have also probably seen around town is CLEAR’s impressive showroom…it’s literally a living room on wheels! It’s definitely been an attention-getter!
