Catch the attention of over a quarter of London’s population with high impact advertising on the tube
Reach an affluent and captive audience with Tube Car Panels (TCPs) advertising.
The London Underground is one of the most heavily used public transport systems in the world, with over 1.5 billion passengers annually. TCPs reach a diverse range of demographics that include commuters, residents and tourists.
The TCPs audience has high dwell time, with tube users spending an average of 35 minutes in a carriage each day, providing maximum opportunity for views and engagement. 6 out of 10 tube
passengers notice new ads on the tube, while 65% of commuters find advertising here less intrusive than other advertising methods.
Out of Home (OOH) advertising is an impactful way of reaching a diverse and vast audience, with 98% of the UK population encountering OOH advertising every week. UK adults spend on average three hours out the house every day, with 40% of shoppers seeing an OOH advertisement in the 30 minutes prior to purchase.
TCPs are one of the most cost-effective forms of OOH advertising, ideal for those wanting to promote their products and services in a high frequency and engaging environment.
