The ZOO Brand

The ZOO Brand is the official Entz brand of the Oxford University Student Union (OUSU), and is managed directly by OUSU’s commercial subsidiary, Oxford Student Services Limited (OSSL).

The ZOO brand has been in existence since 2003, and has run nights all around the city: in the absence of a central venue for OUSU, it has succeeded in bringing Oxford students together for joint entertainment events.
This year, ZOO underwent a complete rebranding, with a new logo and new artwork for all of its nights: the new, more modern image has received much favourable feedback. In addition we have added the main OUSU logo to the ZOO logo, further emphasizing the fact that they are linked.
ZOO is widely recognized by students at Oxford University, and is associated with the Student Union: students are aware of the fact that attending ZOO nights supports the essential services that their SU runs. the unique links ZOO has to its students are its most important quality: the fact that ZOO is directly responsive to them, and can be held to account, means that it is trusted as a promoter like no other provider in Oxford. Students know that ZOO nights are safe, accessible and enjoyable.
Currently, ZOO runs three club nights each week: "Ignition" at OFS on Wednesdays, “ZOO Na Na” at Po Na Na on Thursdays, and “Fresh” at Bar Risa on Fridays. Many students will attend more than one ZOO night each week.

On a day to day basis, ZOO is managed by Dave Green, the Business and Entz Manager of OUSU and the Managing Director of OSSL. Dave is experienced in organizing large-scale events and has successfully managed ZOO's continued success. He also likes getting drunk in dark clubs.
