Some things are easier to share than others: a cat video is easy to spread around, a Speedo is not. A Metro newspaper is – according to the company’s new transit ads – super easy to share (it even ranked above cat videos!). In an attempt to increase readership without having more papers printed, the campaign focuses on sharing and not depriving others of the opportunity to read Metro. The posters are part of the greater campaign by Rethink to promote the free daily and its revamped website. It’ll include digital ads, guerrilla stunts and OOH.
