Next stage of City of Sydney outdoor advertising tender to kick off as shortlist is decided
The City of Sydney has shortlisted a number of vendors for the next stage of its highly contested outdoor advertising tender.
Mumbrella understands the next stage of the procurement process is set to kick off in the next two weeks, and those shortlisted include APN Outdoor, Adshel and incumbent JC Decaux.
JC Decaux street furniture and advertising in the Sydney CBD will be removed, regardless of who wins the contract
Personal plea to Clover.
Get on your bike and take a run around this great city of ours.
I’ll give you a heads up on what you’ll find!
A city that is looking tired and in desperate need of a facelift. Buildings and structures that need paint, streets that are building zone, lanes and alleys that are dirty, prime tourist locations that a soiled with pigeon poo, homeless sprawled on footpaths, railway entrances and tunnels that have been run down and in need of sprucing up. I could keep going but I’m sure once you get on your bike you’ll come across them.
And yes clover your bus shelter ads look great!
The advertising signs look gross. City of Sydney is sitting on a cash pile yet can’t be bothered to provide public facilities with public money, so we fill the city with crap instead.
Never mind the fact that every single one of these eyesores are ultimately paid for by us: commercial operators advertising to us are either raising their prices to cover advertising or reducing payoff to shareholders. So we’re paying to cover our city with rubbish.
