The brand launched its ‘Avoid the horror’ campaign, which took cues from classic horror movies such as Halloween and Dawn of the Dead. The target audience was commuters, and the media strategy was focused on reaching them while in transit via digital 6-sheets, digital escalator panels, radio spots, tube car panels and taxis.
The campaign was highly successful, with more than 29,500 registrations made during the course of the camapaign and an increase in ad awareness of 37.5 per cent and increase of 6.7 per cent brand awareness.
"The uplift in subscriptions and increase in brand awareness has helped us prove that great creative work in the right context can truly drive the commercials of a business such as ours"
