How NY Taxi Ads Made A Sign of The Times a Broadway Hit
Introduction: Rising Above the NYC Hustle With Taxi Ads
In New York City, where every corner buzzes with energy and every street competes for attention, promoting a Broadway show is a tall order. A Sign of The Times, a lively production celebrating today’s vibrant diversity, needed to shine through the chaos and reach theater lovers across the city. That’s where we at NY Taxi Ads came in, rolling out a campaign that brought the show to life on the streets—literally.
The Challenge: Cutting Through the Big Apple’s Noise Using Taxi Tops Display
Let’s face it: NYC is an advertising jungle. From Times Square’s dazzling billboards to the subway’s endless posters, standing out is tough. For A Sign of The Times, the challenge wasn’t just rival Broadway shows—it was the city itself, with its constant stream of distractions. Traditional methods like static signs risked fading into the background. We needed something bold, mobile, and impossible to miss to connect with New Yorkers and visitors alike.
The Solution: Digital Taxi Tops Hit the Streets
Our answer? Digital taxi tops. We mounted these eye-catching screens on 2,000 of NYC’s iconic Yellow Cabs, turning them into a moving billboard fleet for A Sign of The Times. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill ads—they’re bright, dynamic, and packed with visuals that grab attention wherever they go.
Picture this: cabs weaving through the Theater District, cruising past Central Park, and zipping into Brooklyn and Queens, all flashing promos for the show. Unlike fixed billboards, our taxi tops could target key spots and times—think evening crowds in Midtown or weekend shoppers in SoHo. And with the ability to update content in real-time, we kept things fresh, pushing last-minute deals or special performances to keep the buzz alive. Want to know how we do it?

The Results: From Street Views to Sold-Out Seats
The streets told the story—and the results spoke for themselves. As our Yellow Cabs rolled through NYC, A Sign of The Times became part of the city’s pulse. Ticket sales climbed, social media lit up with posts about the ads, and audiences from all five boroughs started showing up. We heard from the show’s team that theatergoers were snapping pics of the cabs and sharing them online—proof that our campaign wasn’t just seen, it was felt.
“We couldn’t believe the energy it created,” their marketing director told us. “People weren’t just seeing the show’s name—they were talking about it and coming to see it. It was like the whole city got the memo.”
The campaign didn’t just boost visibility—it made A Sign of The Times a local sensation, drawing in everyone from Manhattan regulars to Queens explorers. See why repetition drives results.
