Slogans for capital are launched

A BID to re-brand the Scottish capital with "silly" slogans such as "aheadedinburgh" has been launched despite a backlash from local politicians.

Marketing Edinburgh – a council-funded firm in charge of promoting the city – launched its £300,000 campaign last night.

The controversial slogans include "winter is aheadedinburgh", "shop here instedinburgh" "romance isn't dedinburgh" and "paint the town redinburgh".

Contextual targeting label: 
Local government
