What is subway advertising? The definition of subway advertising is advertising displays placed inside subway trains or inside stations or on subway platforms.

Blue Line Media is a subway advertising company that offers ads inside subway stations and platforms, inside the subway cars, at the entrance/exit points of stations (urban panels), on walls of stations, on clocks, on ticket terminals and various other displays throughout the station or platform.

Station domination (also known as station takeover) advertising is also available in many stations with rates ranging from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars per period.

Petco Advertised on Digital/LED Screens in Subway Stations

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. The ad can be still/static or contain motion animation. 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 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".
