MTA advertising and activations

Create unique branded experiences in the world's most iconic transit system

The MTA connects brands with millions of daily riders every day—offering high-impact opportunities to tell your story, generate valuable earned coverage across traditional and social media, and create memorable moments. We’re here to help you build meaningful connections with riders across the MTA system. With our help, you can:

  • Turn mezzanines or empty retail spaces into immersive brand showcases
  • Launch a new product to a diverse, engaged audience
  • Go big with a station takeover — or opt for a simpler, equally impactful approach
  • Spark social media moments with lasting impact
  • Host live performances in iconic MTA locations
  • Or bring an entirely new idea to life
