Printed three sets of posters, three questions. Approached Mike from e/c shopping centre (s/c) with proposed work. He allowed two sets and had reservations about the third. NEW ELEPHANT AND CASTLE...DO THEY HAVE YOU IN MIND?He felt it would receive a negative response and his company wants to ensure that all interaction is within a positive spin.With that we reviewed the third poster and came up with THE NEW ELEPHANT AND CASTLE...ARE YOU READY? Returning at three o'clock for Mike's approval on achieving that we preceded to be given permission to hang three posters on each floor, each at a separate entrance. We have permission to hang the posters for a week and hopefully in this period of time we will gain a positive reponse.We are expecting a differen amount of reaction from day to day with the weekend possibly bringing the most attention to the work.
