Idle Time Advertising, LLC (ITA Promotions) is a full-service public outreach/event staffing and experiential advertising agency. This Woman-Owned Small Business originated in Annapolis, Maryland in 2007 and began as a non-traditional advertising agency. The company’s initial focus was on creating memorable restroom billboards and other unconventional ad campaigns.
From "Idle Time" came rapid mobility and growth
Idle Time quickly evolved to being anything but “idle,” after taking on larger-scale outreach programs that promoted pedestrian safety and other critical transportation and mobility initiatives beginning in 2010. Today, the company now partners with advertising, marketing, and state agencies to execute alternative and non-traditional advertising services and logistics. We specialize in public outreach, guerrilla tactics, and other non-traditional media and marketing services and also provide wide format signage.
ITA is a certified MBE/DBE and has been registered with the Maryland Department of Transportation since 2010 and the Metropolitan Washington Unified Certification Program (WMATA) since 2014.
ITA has expanded and now works on projects all across Maryland, DC, and Northern Virginia. Since 2010, the company has assigned more than 300+ individual staff members to events and public outreach campaigns and is able to successfully execute thousands of activations each year.
Mission:
Idle Time Advertising will provide unmatched customer service and exceptional multilingual public outreach staffing and non-traditional marketing solutions at a fair cost to our Clients, while providing industry-leading wages for our Team. We believe every person should be treated with dignity, respect and empathy.
Experience that builds trust
ITA has now executed public outreach campaigns directly and indirectly for federal government and state agencies such as the Maryland State Highway Administration, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, Maryland Transit Administration, Maryland Highway Safety Office, Motor Vehicle Administration, Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, and the Transportation Security Administration. The company credits the success of these campaigns with the energetic and diverse team members who make up a robust talent pool. These brand ambassadors include a multitude of BILINGUAL speakers, which gives ITA the ability to conduct more meaningful engagements with ALL relevant stakeholders -- no matter their race, color, national origin, native speaking language, sexual orientation or income – so clients get the results they need.
“ITA is fantastic to work with. Their attention to detail and overall customer service really stood out. Will definitely recommend them to my colleagues and use them again in the future.”
