When Unilever wanted to improve brand health and drive sales for its Men+Care deodorant, the CPG giant turned to OUTFRONT for a digital transit campaign in subway interiors and stations across New York City. Did the Dove Men+Care brand take flight? With the help of our independent third-party measurement partner MFour, we quantified the impact the campaign made on awareness, consideration, intent, and other key brand metrics.
