RIVERSIDE, CA – Complete Coach Works (CCW), a leading provider of transit and sustainable transportation solutions, proudly announces its first-place win at the prestigious 2025 Annual Ad Wheel Awards hosted by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA).
The award-winning print media campaign was a multifaceted initiative that combined email outreach to CCW’s customers, publication in APTA’s Public Transport Magazine, and distribution via social media platforms. The campaign focused on CCW’s bus refurbishment expertise as a way to extend the useful life of buses and thereby improve service frequency and quality within US transit fleets. The campaign featured CORE Transit in Colorado who recently had buses refurbished by CCW.
CCW’s winning entry targeted transit industry professionals, decision-makers, and conference attendees in public transportation. Designed to highlight the company’s expertise in bus refurbishment, the campaign captivated audiences with its bold visuals, strategic messaging, and clear value proposition. Further, CCW displayed the bus showcased in the print media at the APTA Transform Conference in Anaheim, CA in September.
CCW rose to the challenge by presenting an eye-catching and informative print media advertisement that directed traffic to its refurbished bus display. Visitors were able to experience firsthand the company’s ability to extend the lifespan of transit vehicles at the vehicle display expo. The campaign’s success generated significant interest and engagement at the conference. Attendees flocked to the company’s booth, where meaningful connections were made.
CCW will receive the award during APTA’s annual Marketing, Communications and Customer Experience Workshop, held from February 23-26 in Long Beach, CA. The Ad Wheel Awards celebrate excellence in marketing and communication efforts within the public transportation industry. The competition highlights campaigns that advance the industry’s visibility, innovation, and effectiveness in connecting with target audiences.
