In partnership with Encompass Media Group, our Metro Commuter Network™ field team will deliver up to 900,000+ samples per day outside of New York City’s Grand Central Station and 26 other commuter rail market cities nationally (Northeast skew with 65% rail commuter volume). Busy commuters will engage with your brand during rush hour (morning or afternoon), samples hand-delivered by dedicated brand ambassadors wearing custom-branded shirts.
