Case Study Liberty In Print 4-Sheet Tube Advertising Campaign

When Liberty In Print approached us with the goal of expanding their brand visibility in London, the challenge was clear: maximise reach in a high-footfall environment while keeping the campaign targeted. The answer lay in the iconic 4-sheet posters strategically placed throughout the London Underground network.

Driving Mass Awareness with Targeted 4-Sheet Advertising on the London Underground

With millions of daily journeys across Zone 1 and Zone 2, the Tube offered the perfect environment for building brand recognition. Our campaign centred on carefully selected stations to ensure Liberty In Print’s message was seen by a relevant audience, at the right time, in the right place.

Why 4-Sheet Posters Were the Perfect Fit

4-sheet posters are one of the most effective advertising formats on the Underground. Positioned along passenger walkways, ticket halls, and escalator exits, they offer repeated brand exposure to both daily commuters and visitors.

For Liberty In Print, this format offered two major advantages:

High Frequency of Exposure: Commuters often take the same route daily, meaning the 4-sheet posters provided repeat impressions, cementing brand recognition.

Strategic Placement in Key Locations: Posters were positioned in busy interchange stations such as Oxford Circus, King’s Cross St Pancras, and Bank, as well as targeted Zone 2 hubs where the brand’s audience base is strong.

The Campaign Execution

We developed a creative rollout that made the most of the 4-sheet format’s visibility. The clean, bold creative design ensured the Liberty In Print brand stood out in high-traffic areas.

Key elements of the campaign:

Station Selection: Focus on a balanced mix of central business districts and retail-heavy stations.

Frequency & Duration: A four-week campaign to capture consistent commuter attention.

Supporting Channels: While the Tube campaign was primary, it was complemented by a London bus advertising push (via londonbusadvertising.com) for above-ground coverage.

Results and Impact

Within weeks, Liberty In Print reported a notable lift in brand recognition and inbound enquiries. The 4-sheet campaign successfully reached the target audience while boosting recall and trust in the brand.

The placement across Zone 1 and 2 stations ensured a strong mix of local professionals, London shoppers, and city visitors, giving the brand both breadth and depth of reach.

For brands looking to establish themselves in the London market or launch a product to a broad audience, the combination of visibility, frequency, and location targeting makes this format a standout choice.
