**Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice**, the subject of a high-profile domestic violence case, is no longer part of the M&T Bank ad campaign which began airing TV spots this week. Instead, Head Coach **John Harbaugh** and Ravens President **Dick Cass** are seen in the spokesman role.

“Our campaign is focused on teamwork and celebrating that teamwork,” **Betsey Locke**, M&T’s group vice president for advertising and sponsorships, told The Baltimore Sun; adding that the bank in May extended its naming rights and sponsorship agreement with the Ravens – it’s a $60 million, 10-year deal. “Our partnership with the Ravens has been a great example of the power of teamwork. We have been able to do great things for the community. This gave us a great opportunity to talk about that partnership.”

Rice took on the M&T spokesperson role before the 2010 season, as part of the bank’s “Raise the Green Flag” campaign. The creative is handled by Crowley Webb, a Buffalo-based ad agency that has worked with M&T for 25 years.
