....as you were...
Noticed about a week agoDoes the Aldi opposite the cricket ground have a thread???
Hoardings have gone up for it
Outdoor media owner Ocean has been awarded the contract for a new full motion digital screen located overlooking the Bullring shopping centre in Birmingham.
Ocean: London's Waterloo Imax cinema site
The screen is situated on the pedestrian New Street, overlooking the external Bullring area, and will be sold alongside the Ocean digital network which includes Liverpool Media Wall and London Westfield's "Eat Street". it will broadcast full motion ads between 8.30am and 10.30pm.
The contract was awarded by Scottish Widows Investment Partnership (Swip), which owns the building the screen sits on.
Tim Bleakley, chief executive of Ocean, said: "Very few sites meet our selective criteria. All Ocean sites have a unique natural pull and the City Centre House Screen is very much in the Ocean family of sites."
Ad slots will be sold in 10-second slots, shown in a one-minute loop, for a two-week period and daypart and bespoke briefs can be considered, as can total ownership of the screen.
Peter Webb, senior investment manager at Swip, said: "Ocean's position in this market brings both knowledge and expertise, maximising the potential for this iconic location to attract global brand campaigns, and bringing this bustling area of Birmingham into the exciting digital era."
Ocean specialises in landmark sites and high profile digital screens. Its sites include the London Imax cinema in Waterloo.
Total waste of bloody time if you ask me, one pissy little screen. This is a major meeting hub in the city and this development should be far more significant. It'll probably only be up for 5-7 years anyway probably.http://www.mediaweek.co.uk/news/1035677/Ocean-wins-digital-outdoor-contract-Birmingham/
Now can they do the advertising board on the top of the rotunda to finish it off please?

well it was enough of a battle to get that one small screen up..... it was only won on appeal.... BCC refused the original application on grounds that it was detrimental to the setting of a listed statue (nelson monument in the bullring).... ofcourse, the fact that you can barely see the screen from the statue, but it was more to the fact that the council do not want to compromise its then high profile BBC screen in Vicky Square!Total waste of bloody time if you ask me, one pissy little screen.

A major city (the 2nd in fact), a major meeting hub - surely there must be some big global names that are interested in adverising here. - if only just to hide that awful looking building!
are we thinking cannaught square are purely doing his as a device to help sell off the site?Spotted in planning

can someone explain to me how ADZ's and Tax Incremental Funding can help kick start schemes :-s
...Or the sheer bloody mindedness and political egos have come to pass now that BCC realises it needs new sources of revenue streams, now that they aren't getting the access to the open cheque book that the last government controlled.well it was enough of a battle to get that one small screen up..... it was only won on appeal....

in those days, we had to promise we only uses still images also, so a lot of water appears to have passed under the bridge in the time since!
