I saw the subvertised hoarding off Cowley Rd this a.m too - I love the stuff those people do. There was a brilliant one a month back of a toddler knocked off a BMX in front of some big sports car roaring out of the ad photo. Imginative and really hard-hitting. Keep up the great work!

...there's another one just down the road that would love a similar treatment :)

Only problem is it's up high.

Keep up the good work guys!

There is also an air tattoo banner hanging across St. Michael's Street off Cornmarket.

(also lists the sponsors of the event)

Wrong sort of ads

We went to Oomph last night on Oxpens and there was hardly anyone there.
I don't believe it was the weather or the football that kept
people away but the poor advertising. Sad cos a lot of work was put into it and it was very professionally done, if a bit odd.
Shame we can have killer machines plastered all over Oxford for sad people to take their impressionable kids to see costing them an arm and a leg but a free, peaceful, local, community event is barely advertised.

Rather Angry

Much amused - I walk by there on most days.

My favourite was the Mini Cooper ad with the teeth a couple months back.

I figure they'll give up on that billboard one of these days, it always gets hit.
