What it is
Sequential screens running the length of the escalator shaft, synchronised so one story plays out as the passenger descends. It sits in escalator shafts, available at most major stations, bought in 2 weeks bursts running Monday to Sunday. Artwork is supplied to the specification above and goes through copy clearance before the on-air date.
Why advertisers use it
Audiences are standing still with nothing else to read. Typical exposure is 45 to 90 seconds, which is why the format works hardest for brand awareness and product launch.
Cost
£25,000 per station run, per 2 weeks. Rates move with zone, station footfall and trading period: January and August are the softest, the Christmas run-in the hardest. Production is quoted separately.
Booking and lead time
Six to eight weeks ahead is the sweet spot: it protects both the price and the quality of the sites you get. Station dominations and peak trading periods need longer. Copy clearance sits ahead of the on-air date, so leave room for it in the schedule.
