UK Advertising Starts Getting Rude On The Tube

We all walk around with our eyes down on our devices these days which makes it extremely hard for outdoor advertisers to reach us like they used to. In London a trend is emerging where advertising is downright rude, attention seeking and sure to get talked about. You can see in the examples below that even big brands are using swear words and aiming to provoke. Ironically the medium these ads are getting the most traction is on social media with people taking photos and sharing with their networks. We’re not 100% sure on this type of advertising ourselves especially when you are calling your potential customers rude names- it doesn’t endear me to the brand at all.
