Hi, I know it’s good to advertise, but wouldn’t it have been best to start once Virgin was no more at the weekend? Also will you be advertising across the UK as HELLO!!! London isn’t the only area where you can get Absolute?
I like it Absolute Buses. Now we need Absolute Trains only if they are not late or you will end up missing the 80’s hour….lol
Just think if there was a country side near London then sheep in a field could have the Absolute logo printed on before they go to slaughter? Then you will be eating Absolute Radio!! Yummy.
Hello. We're Donnach, Clive and Adrian. At the end of June 2008 we joined the team at One Golden Square, with big plans for the UK's biggest commercial radio station. This blog is where we are discussing and shaping our audio and online radio vision. Anyone from the team is welcome to write a post, and comments are, of course, welcome from all.
In the news
Chris Martin on denying that Coldplay could sell out 21 nights like the artist formerly known as Prince.
'No, I don't think we could....you can't do that unless you've got impeccable facial hair....with this facial hair we could probably sell out five nights'. To Christian O'Connell, Absolute Radio
'An Absolutely new vision for commercial radio' Media Monkey headline on Guardian Unlimited on Monday 29th September.
'I can't wait to hear Absolute' Coldplay's Chris Martin, as reported on Mirror.co.uk on 29th September
'Absolute orders £5m breakfast show revamp' Broadcast headline, 26th September
'Absolute is letting listeners help pick the music. Is it a gimmick or the future? .....having met Clive Dickens, I know he's passionate in his belief that radio in this country can and should be done better, more so than any of the industry's other figureheads. Dickens wouldn't waste time trying something if he thought no good would come of it. Maybe Absolute Radio will sing a different song to the rest of the industry.' Organ Grinder, Guardian Unlimited, 25th September

I’m sorry to be negative but those ads on the bus are not the least bit impressive to me. How do we fix this?
1. It is an advert on a bus.
2. Make a reference to a location where the bus might stop.
3. Insert a pic of an Absolute Radio presenter.
Answer:1. Put up a pic of Nelson with his name and title, insert the words “Absolute Radio.” Make reference to Shepherd’s Bush.
2. Make reference to the station being in Soho in the advert and insert pics of Absolute employees.
To me, what’s on the bus is the equivalent of a “no parking” or “no standing” sign, dull, unimaginitive and lacking real creativity.

Mark - Rest assured that our advertising will be national and not just London. It’s only that London buses were easy for me to go and photograph.
