McKinney to tout their Gnome
September 5, 2008
Good for McKinney … we do like those ads… they deserve it.
Durham, NC – For a third consecutive year, Travelocity’s Roaming Gnome will vie for induction into the Madison Avenue Advertising Walk of Fame.
Since 2004 the Roaming Gnome, creation of Travelocity’s advertising agency McKinney, has traveled the world as the online travel leader’s “spokesgnome,” gaining popularity on www.travelocity.com, in humorous tv spots and print ads, on favorite social networking sites, at special events and with appearances on shows such as “The Amazing Race” and “American Idol.” Now the two-foot-tall icon with a red pointy hat will compete against the likes of Subway’s Jared and Maytag’s Repairman among 23 other nominees for a spot in the Advertising Walk of Fame.
