Petco advertised on digital/LED screens inside subway stations. With the shared ad space on digital screens, each advertiser gets a "slot" equal to certain amount of seconds every minute or so.

With digital screens, also known as digital out of home advertising (DOOH), advertisers can rotate different creative, run video and change creative remotely at almost any time.

Mobile Game App Publisher Playtika Advertising Took Over Subway Car Interiors in Metro Cities With "Full Brand" Ads

Mobile Game App Publisher Playtika Advertising Subway Interior Full Brand

Mobile game app maker Playtika advertising took over subway car interiors in metro cities in the United States to market its "Grand Harvest" game. All of the interior advertising space of subway cars in Chicago and half of the same in NYC and Los Angeles were dedicated to Playtika's gaming app. The ads immersed subway riders with alternating creative messaging about the app in a captive setting. Being the only advertiser on one or both sides of the subway car draws attention to the ads. This kind of takeover-advertising of subway car interiors is sometimes referred to as a "half brand" or "full brand".
