Collins, assistant vice president for marketing and communications. Featuring a fearsome and proud African lion, the campaign can be seen on television and outdoor billboards, as well as in print and online. “The reaction from the community – both those connected with Old Dominion and those not – has been very strong and positive,” Collins added. “Hampton Roads is our pride, and it’s increasingly clear that Old Dominion is the community’s pride as well.” Learn more about Old Dominion’s work in the region and watch the commercials at roar.odu.edu.
