JCDecaux unveils “Metro/Train Stories: Time and Space for a Daily Dialogue with Urban Lives”

Connecting Urban Lives: The Cornerstone of City Living

As the cornerstone of urban living, Metro/Train systems connect millions of people from the suburbs to the heart of the city every day. The respondents to the survey overwhelmingly recognize the significance of Metro/Rail as essential means of transport, efficiently reaching all the vital areas of the city in a fast and convenient manner.

A Mass Medium to Reach Desirable Urban Audiences

Metro/Rail serves as a meeting point for desirable active audiences, with the possibility for brands to reach them multiple times a week due to their regular usage: 70% of the respondents indicate travelling at the same or at an increased frequency, whatever the purpose. Commuters also spend considerable time during their journeys, presenting a favourable moment for brands to captivate their attention and influence their choices. With an average of 2 hours and 30 minutes of exposure each week, Metro/Rail advertising (OOH and DOOH) emerges as an ideal platform for brands to engage in a weekly dialogue with their target audience and leave a lasting impact on them like in no other media.

Memorable Journeys: Crafting Lasting Impressions with Metro/Train Advertising

Metro/Train advertising presents a truly unique environment for brands to deploy powerful brand experiences that resonate with their target audience. With a staggering 90% of travellers noticing advertisements within these environments, the captive audience's heightened level of attention is unparalleled. The alert state of mind during their commute ensures that the OOH and DOOH advertising messages have a greater chance of making a lasting impact. Moreover, the opportunity for active engagement with brands during the journey, as commuters plan for the week ahead, further enhances the effectiveness of these brand experiences. This distinctive combination of a receptive audience, extended exposure, and an engaged mindset makes Metro/Train advertising an ideal canvas for brands to create impactful and memorable campaigns, leaving a lasting impression on commuters long after their journey has ended.
