Proven Effectiveness
Unmissable Entry Point Exposure
Every commuter must pass through ticket gateways, making them one of the few advertising formats with 100% guaranteed visibility. Unlike posters or digital screens that can be bypassed, gateways are unavoidable—ensuring your brand is seen at the most critical moment of the journey.
Dual-Sided Impact Strategy
Campaigns that cover both sides of the ticket gateway—entry and exit—achieve significantly higher recall and engagement. This dual exposure reinforces the message as passengers enter and leave, creating a looped brand experience that sticks.
Premium Audience in Motion
Ticket gateways are located in high-footfall stations like Bond Street, where 1.35 million people pass through in just two weeks. These stations attract affluent shoppers and professionals, with 84% of them saying Underground ads influence their store choices.
Creative Takeovers Drive Results
Full gateway takeovers using digital screens and vinyl wraps—like the Mega Digiwall and Ribbon formats—have shown to amplify brand storytelling and outperform static formats. These immersive executions transform gateways into branded environments that captivate and convert.
