Bravo Advertising adverts for Bravo Advertising

    For what seems like weeks, and possibly months, I been getting a twilight zone feeling about all of the advertising billboard space taken up with advertising for, er, advertising.

    Is this yet another indicator of how poor business is at the moment? I can't help feeling if they could actually earn a crust from renting the space to someone, they wouldn't be filling it up instead with pictures exhorting us to 'phone Michelle for great thinking about outdoor advertising'.

    I mean, pardon for being a smartarse, but if Michelle's thinking about outdoor advertising was so great, she wouldn't be reduced to the plaintive hope that some stranger in the crowds passing through Pearse Street Station might develop an urgent need to buy advertising space when confronted by the sight of her wearing respectable casuals.

    As a way of moving more Yorkie bars, maybe. I just, like, don't get outdoor advertising as a way of advertising outdoor advertising.

    Anyway, has this provoked any reaction with anyone else, or am I just a rather strange person.

    I'd say it's simply a case that if no-one has paid to use the slot for the month or whatever, they may as well use it themselves.

    Plus it would stop the hoarding looking dilapidated and giving a bad impression of the company.

    Fair points, but there's just so many adverts out there with their mugshots that I've a feeling its really just announcing to us that they can't fill the space. I mean, they on buses, street hoardings, whatever.

    Plus I can't help noticing that one of the large boards in Pearse Street Station is now taken up with an advert for Scientology.

    Anyway, I freely admit its something that irritates me more than it should. I'm just trying to measure exactly how much of a psychosis its giving me, by seeing what normal people think.

    I guess it's just a quiet time of the year, the Bravo ads were around this time last year too. One of last year's batch is still on a wall in Inchicore, was never changed.

    I have the same thought process, but it hardly elicits psychosis :)

    Outdoor advertising is most powerful tool for marketing new establishments, company's product and services. But aggressive and over outdoor marketing creates irritation to the viewers.. and hence sometimes they might overlook those adds.

    Well OP you sure are familiar with the name Bravo now so I guess all that exposure worked?? Which.would.mean it wasn't that bad an advertising campaign for the effectiveness of advertising campaigns!! Think of it, had Yorkie advertised on these bars, you'd be on here talking about them instead

    The OP quite obviously has not overlooked these ads
