Subway Canada is known for its iconic 6-inch and footlong subs, but the QSR brand is also known for its tongue-in-cheek style of campaigns.  

The agencies embraced the metric system in their latest campaign, adopting a playful tone as they moved away from inches. This witty approach adds a fresh perspective to the messaging.s

“We have a tremendous value offer of five classic subs a price point Canadians are craving right now.” states Denny Downie, Head of Marketing for Subway Canada. “We found a timely way of reinforcing a distinctly Subway brand ordering experience, while communicating our value messaging with a wink.”
