This ain't Flint! It also ain't a good campaign!

For the last three or four days (this will be important information later!) I've been noticing these bus ads up all over Ottawa:

As bad as ALL THAT is (and it's bad, I don't dispute it) it is still 10,000% better than the NOTHING I got when I went to the web site after seeing the ads for the first time yesterday.

Also, they are plastering posters on the clear glass part of bus shelters where you aren't supposed to put posters and that just pisses me off.

OC Transpo

Couldn't I get a $500 reward for reporting NewCap to OC Cops for that? It's considered graffiti if its a sticker....where did you see this?

It wasn't a sticker it was posters and tape, and it was on, uh, whatever that street is downtown where the buses run along the TransitWay when going toward the Rideau Centre... Laurier? Slater?

Why does their facebook page say:

"And the muttering
grew to a grumbling

And the grumbling
grew to a mighty rumbling

And out of the houses
the rats came tumbling"

?????

Actually, this reminded me: that link is what was on the web site yesterday.

Now I know where it's from, but it still makes no sense to me!

(p.s. No one is talking about this campaign.)

actually....
you are

[audrawilliams]

For sure. And if your goal was to have your buzz consist of one person breaking down all the things you did wrong in your campaign, I'd be prepared to call it a success.

damn tootin

that response was me

I don't get the business rationale for this. Do they think it's going to encourage more businesses to advertize on their stations? Is it directed to listeners or to potential advertizing clients? How does the station benefit from spending money on these ads?

I don't understand this on any level!
