Ritesh Vasudeva, Chief Executive of Hindustan Publicity, confirmed the news and indicated that this is a very bright opportunity for both the media agencies, as the concerned metro route has high foot-fall and the advertisers can reap full benefit through putting up backlit signage, digital displays at the platform and concourse levels and making use of station premises for canopy set up especially for activations, BTL and e-commerce. The advertisers can grab the commuter’s attention by advertising activities by utilising area of high dwell-time at various metro stations.
