MUMBAI: Mumbai Railway has given the digital advertising rights at the city‘s iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus station to Lineage Media for an undisclosed amount. The digital out of home media advertising firm has already installed two 8 feet by 6 feet LED screens at different locations inside the station.

The LED screens are strategically placed to give maximum exposure to the brands taking into account the average time spent at the station by commuters. The media grapevine says that Lineage considers CST a strategic location for out of home media and is in talks to enter into a similar agreement for western line‘s Churchgate station as well.

Lineage Media‘s current brand partners for the digital OOH option at CST include Parle Agro Frooti, Sundaram Books E Class and Hexacorp Petrochemicals. The commercials on these screens will repeat every five minutes and screens will run for 14 hours a day from 8 am to 10 pm.

This is the first time that such huge, high definition screens will bring out advertisers‘ content inside the railway station, which has a footfall of more than four million commuters on an average day.
