Case Study

Learn how Jet used London bus rear advertising to drive traffic and promote their £1,000 fuel giveaway, with 150 strategically placed ads across the city.

Introduction: Jet’s Fuel-Promoting Bus Advertising Campaign

When Jet, the well-known fuel company, wanted to generate buzz and drive entries for their £1,000 free fuel competition, they turned to London Bus Advertising for a high-frequency campaign. With 150 bus rear advertisements across London, the campaign successfully captured the attention of motorists, pedestrians, and commuters alike. The goal was clear: to engage the public with an exciting competition and boost visibility for Jet’s brand.

The Power of Bus Rear Advertising

Bus rear advertising is an incredibly effective way to grab attention. Positioned at the back of the bus, these ads target drivers who are stuck behind the bus in traffic, as well as pedestrians on the street. With London’s busy streets and high levels of traffic, the bus rear offers the perfect space to advertise a message that’s both eye-catching and hard to miss.

For Jet, this advertising format was the ideal choice. The bold and clear messaging, coupled with the stand-out artwork, ensured that their £1,000 fuel giveaway was seen by thousands of people daily.

Campaign Goals: Driving Entries and Boosting Brand Awareness

Jet’s campaign aimed to promote their exciting competition, where participants could win £1,000 worth of free fuel. With the competition hosted on the website winwithjet.com, the primary goal was to encourage people to visit the website and enter for a chance to win. The sleek and eye-catching designs on the bus rears featured clear messaging that directed people to the competition site, making it easy for them to take action.

Strategic Placement: Maximising Exposure Across London

The campaign utilised 150 strategically placed bus rear ads across the city. These were positioned on buses that travelled through key areas, including busy commuter routes, residential areas, and bustling shopping districts. This ensured that the adverts were seen by a wide and diverse audience—motorists stuck in traffic and pedestrians walking along the streets.

By opting for a high-frequency campaign, Jet maximised the number of people exposed to their message, making sure that the brand stayed top of mind. The more frequently people saw the ads, the more likely they were to take action, whether it was entering the competition or simply remembering Jet’s name.

Additionally, the results showed that 91% of individuals who saw the bus ads were able to recall them, highlighting the effectiveness of the campaign.

The high recall rate also speaks to the power of bus rear advertising in capturing attention and making a lasting impression. When strategically executed, bus advertising can drive tangible results, just like it did for Jet.
