I’d say the viral part was fairly effective (have seen the logo in various forms and locations around OKC, yard-signs, billboards, tv ads) – slightly let-down by the fact that’s it’s a health-related promo – to me, it looks more like a grand opening promo for a night-club.

As far as the yard-signs – isn’t removal normally the responsibility of those that placed the sign?

I can understand a mysterious sign like “2-10-11″ with an Apple/Verizon logo –people get that. With the “5320″ campaign, however, people don’t have a clue what it means. Instead of trying to be ultra-edgy and generate “buzz” VI should be enlightening people. What a monumental waste of time and (presumably) taxpayer money.

[...] was as good as his word. He fired off a public nastygram to the ad agency in question, to which he got a reply to the effect that “Well, politicians do it.” Now [...]

Steve,

I can’t believe that you are actually wasting space on the internet talking about these paper signs. I constantly see paper signs all over the city for various events, and I’ve never heard any complaints from anyone, including you.

For you to attack a company over one type or placement is ridiculous. It sounds like you have way too much time on your hands.

I’ve heard of VI Marketing – they are a reputable company that has been around for years in OKC – and a valuable part of our business community! For you to attack them over this is unconscionable!

Please get a life.

Finding out who registered an online domain is “digging?”

I think it’s called “Googling.”

Terri, may want to hold off on removing them yourself unless you are authorized by the City to do so. Some signs that are illegally placed in one area are perfectly legal in another (even if they look identical in placement). Think you might even be ticketed for doing so. Better to report it to the City and let them take care of it.

…and that’s why you ask the question. Apparently he doesn’t care about the city’s appearance.

I’ve been seeing these all over the city for the past week. Just a couple of hours ago saw several littering the grassy area adjacent to May Avenue in the Mayfair area (just south of 50th). So very happy to see this practice being questioned. If they show up in our neighborhood median, I’ll personally remove them.

Difference of opinion, then. It’s simply a useless question, phrased in a patronizing manner, for which you KNOW with 100% certainty you will not receive an answer that enlightens you or your readers. Honestly, if they were to answer your e-mail, what do you expect them to say to that question?

“The email would have been more effective without such a tone.” Made me snort.

Get ‘em, Steve.
