McCann London, Subway Imagine a ‘More Adventurous You’

By Erik Oster 

McCann London launched a new campaign promoting Subway’s new BBQ Beef Burnt Ends sandwich in the U.K. and Ireland with a look at “A More Adventurous You.”

The spot opens on a man staring inside a Subway, where he sees another version of himself ordering the BBQ Beef Burnt Ends sandwich. Taking advice from the voiceover (and his more adventurous self) he walks up to the counter and orders the new menu item, and is perhaps a bit overenthusiastic about it.

The spot made its broadcast debut today and will run through May 23, with support from print, OOH, digital and radio components. It’s part of a broader “Keep Discovering” brand platform launched last year to encourage customers to order new things.

“We had a lot of fun coming up with another concept to bring to life that ‘order-fear’ moment we are all familiar with,” McCann London co-president and chief creative officer Rob Doubal said in a statement. “This will hopefully encourage Subway customers to abandon their irrational caution and enjoy more of what’s on offer.”
