Train headrest covers for a Marvel audio series

Audio needs a moment when someone is seated, idle and holding a phone, which is exactly a train journey. Headrest covers were branded across the coaches with the Marvel audio series titles, Spider-Man and Iron Man, and each cover carried a QR code and the app store badges, so the passenger looking at the seat in front could start listening on the same journey. The format sits in the passenger’s eye line for the whole trip.

What it delivered

Putting the QR code on the seat in front converts the format from branding into an install route, because the audience is already holding the device the ad wants them to use. Licensed characters did the stopping work, so the panel only needed to carry the title and the code.

Where the volume moved, quarter by quarter

Ad volume indexed against the opening quarter = 100, inside one collection batch. The 2026 exports are not on the same footing, so the trend stays within the 12 months to September 2025 rather than crossing that boundary.

The preferred medium

99.0% is television

Television captured the highest share of the sector’s ad spend over the 12 months to September 2025, at 99.0% of estimated television, print and radio spend. Digital sits outside this split because TAM prices it on a different scale; it is reported by ad count instead.

Television 99.0%
Radio 0.5%
Print 0.4%

A plan that skips television buys a smaller share of this category’s voice than the headline spend suggests.
