How does it work?

6 Sheets are the most flexible format on the Underground. They allow advertisers to either build brand awareness on a large scale by reaching a mass audience or offer the ability to target specific audience segments with precision packs. Precision packs enable advertisers to reach groups such as students, affluent professionals, or particular communities, using only ad sites in areas where they will be highly visible to the chosen target audiences.

Who's used it in the past?

Subway ran a 6 sheet underground campaign in June 2007 promoting the launch of the '8 under 6g' range of Low Fat Subs. The advertising was targeting 18-39 year olds who do not normally visit Subway. Those who saw the Tube advertising were twice as likely as all adults to spontaneously mention Subway, plus a quarter of all Tube users and almost two thirds of frequent Tube users saw the advertising.
