Outdoor Advertising Recruitment Solutions need a Focal Point

Are you a recruitment consultancy looking for the best candidates?

Would it make sense to recruit a local candidate for some of the jobs on your books?

How do those potential candidates get to work at the moment?

Do they go by bus, train, underground, car, bike or foot?

Do you think they might notice a bloody big billboard with their perfect job on it?

Is there a billboard near where your local target potential perfect candidates hang out?

Not sure… hey, why should you know, you’re in recruitment, not outdoor advertising…

But wait… we’re in outdoor advertising and could find you that perfect focal point for your ad… give us a call…

Ask for Richard Knight… he’s got a great one liner about why you should consider outdoor advertising…

So even if he can’t find you the perfect advertising solution you’ll have a laugh trying ;)

Go on, give him a call and let him bring a smile to your face… you know it’s your best look ;)

Last week while on holiday in the Lake District I heard the story about Prince Harry having some fun with his mates and some opportunists over exposing him to the world’s media via the Murdoch machine… which is a tad anti establishment at this time!

The Sun looking to boost sales grab the photos and come up with a story about truth and the public interest… what a crock but hey, they know how to sell papers.

Then this morning I learn about the “Protector of the Vegas Code” campaign which has been orchestrated by the Las Vegas Tourist board… BRILLIANT

Go take a look at what they have come up with…

What happens in Las Vegas, stays in Vegas ;)
