Out Of Home International Executes Outdoor Advertising Campaign For Ockendon Studio School

Out Of Home International has been appointed to manage an outdoor advertising campaign for the Essex-based Ockendon Studio School. Running from mid-February, the out of home marketing strategy will be implemented in the surrounding towns of Upminster and Grays, adopting the formats of bus streetliners based at Grays Depot and 4-sheet and 6-sheet billboards positioned through Grays and Upminster train stations.

 

Designed by the school’s very own Marketing Manager Vikki Kavanagh, the advert comprises a photographic image of students angled across the background, bordered by coloured areas that adhere to the school’s blue and yellow colour scheme. The image is peppered with informative statements encouraging 14 to 19-year-old students to consider Ockendon Studio School as their school of choice, such as “At 14+ – Did you know that you can transfer to the Studio School in year 10 to study your GCSEs?”, and key words like “personal coach” and “touchscreen” to tempt prospective learners. Contact details are indicated by icons signifying each method of communication – such as Facebook or telephone – and the school’s logo is also positioned alongside.
