“Proterra Advertising always amazes us with their creativity. It is wonderful to have an agency that keeps providing us with fresh creative that reflects our brand as a Premier Sports and Entertainment Venue and makes us stand out in our industry,” said the Marketing Director for the American Airlines Center.
