Excerpts:

An attempt to spread multiple anti-Donald Trump messages in the sky ahead of the NCAA Championship football game between Alabama and Clemson has been blocked, according to the millionaire funding the campaign.

After successfully trolling billionaire candidate Donald Trump at the Rose Bowl with skywriting messages, Alabama millionaire Stan Pate began making plans for a similar campaign at an even bigger event.

This time he wanted to troll Trump at The National College Football Playoff Championship.

In an exclusive interview with Brietbart News, Pate indicated that plans for the campaign were set in motion and the planes were transported to Glendale, Arizona. The plan was to spread the message across the sky in the afternoon for people tailgating and lining up outside the stadium for the game. But hours before the campaign went live, representatives from AirSign got word from their legal team advising them to shut it down.

Pate says a representative from AirSign told him that one of their biggest clients threatened legal action if they went live with another anti-Trump campaign using the digital skywriting system that they used at the Rose Bowl.

Pate said GEICO was behind the legal threat and threatened to pull their contract with the skywriting company if they didn’t stop their campaign, which earned AirSign an enormous amount of media attention.

Skywriting Messages Attract Massive Attention

Did you know that aerial advertising is remembered more than any other medium? Recent studies have revealed air signs to have a higher recall rate than any other type of advertisement, with skywriting at the very top of the list. If you have ever seen skywriting, it is very likely that you can remember the location as well as the specific message you saw. You, and likely tens of thousands of others, watched massive letters forming in the sky - taking the time necessary to watch the entire message being built.

Skywriting is performed by one of two methods. The first is a single aircraft writing out each letter in "long hand" fashion; basically doing a series of loops and turns to draw each letter individually. The second method is a team of five aircraft flying in formation and working in sync to write longer messages using a dot matrix system. The single aircraft method is best used for short, concise messages usually ranging to a maximum of 10 to 20 characters. One advantage of this method is that special characters like hearts or smiley faces can be written in the sky along with your message. The five aircraft option is better suited for clients who are looking to write multiple messages and create a major media blitz. This five aircraft skywriting option demands major attention and captivates an entire city, often causing local media and social media outlets to go crazy over the advertisement. This can easily be leveraged to boost awareness and the overall success of your campaign.
