Subway ANZ ‘Feel Good’ Spring campaign

Publicis Worldwide has built a nine-metre long sub for Subway ANZ, giving a tasty twist to the brand’s Feel Good  Spring campaign.

The campaign will run throughout Spring until the end of November.

Brisbane creative agency Publicis WorldWide built the sub and set it to sail on Lake Wakatipu in Queenstown, New Zealand. Eight passengers enjoyed the trip.

Touted as the world’s largest Subway sub, the giant vessel is a bold and novel representation of the brand’s slogan, Eat Fresh.

Subway ANZ head of marketing, Rodica Titeica, says the concept captured the feel good feeling of Subway food.

“The Subway brand has earned a worldwide reputation for offering a nutritious alternative to traditional fast foods and has always provided better choices to our guests," says Titeica.

"We are truly the ‘feel good’ food! It was important for us to encapsulate the essence of that ‘feel good’ feeling our guests experience when making good choices in life, and when dining at Subway. Publicis Worldwide’s creative concept translated that perfectly to the big screen.”

Publicis Worldwide executive creative director Ryan Petie says the sub concept is simple but effective.

“We’re building Footlong Fame for Subway, and what better way to do this than by building the biggest nine-metre long sub. The idea is so simple, ridiculous — but we felt the world needs a bit more of that right now.”

The Feel Good campaign aims to build top-of-mind awareness, with messaging focused on reminding consumers that eating healthier with Subway can not only taste good, but make you feel good, inside and out. Campaign activity includes TVCs, online video, OOH and social media.
