Honda's National Buy
Honda became the first company to make
a national out-of-home buy of in-tunnel advertising
for the launch of its newly designed Civic model. The
campaign repurposed TV commercials and appeared simultaneously
in Boston, New York, Chicago and San Francisco. Honda
agency, RPA, described it as a "plan that will get our
message in front of millions of commuters on a daily
basis in four top markets in the country."

Test Drive Excitement in OOH
The auto industry has long enjoyed TV
as a viable medium to display their products in motion using
professional drivers along with slick direction and
photography to feature agility and design and encourage
consumers to head to their dealers for that crucial
test drive. However, when it comes to outdoor, the auto
industry has only been able to depend on design in selling
a car. Through Submedia's motion picture advertising,
not only have they been able to use a high-impact outdoor
medium to include those crucial action sequences but
they have done it with their current TV efforts allowing
them to keep their budgets low. Since our launch in
2001, we have enjoyed working with numerous automotive
brands including Lincoln, Lexus, Hummer, Honda, Infinity
and Cadillac.

Coke: The Real Creative
Coca-Cola has always been willing to
take to cutting edge marketing. As our first advertiser,
Coca-Cola realized early on the potential of our medium.
It's own studies showed that, after its Dasani bottled
water brand appeared in our Atlanta location, 93% of
the riders polled recalled the ad versus a 13% recall
rate for television and that was the second-best.
Coca-Cola is now taking part in our walking displays
as it launches its new
Blak flavor in key markets. After hearing about the
launch of our sidewalk
displays in New York, the beverage company approached
us about tapping
the Chicago metro market and we were able to negotiate
and secure five
viable locations for them.

Entertainment: Art Imitating Life
Having been in Hong Kong and Tokyo for
some time now, Submedia's in-tunnel system has it's
own cult following. So much so that popular Asian recording artist Alex Fung incorporated the Submedia display into the music for one of his hit singles.
Light box, Passengers, Action! Much like
the auto industry, action plays a big part in getting
moviegoers to purchase tickets for blockbuster movies.
The releasing company for Star Wars: Episode
III in Asia decided to repurpose their TV for in-tunnel
advertising in Tokyo.
