Subway Builds a Better Breakfast

Anson-Stoner assisted Central Florida, Gainesville, and Jacksonville SUBWAY® restaurants with the rollout of a full breakfast menu, which launched on April 5. The new menu features customizable omelet sandwiches with options that include a combination of eggs (or egg whites), cheese, ham, bacon, steak, sausage, peppers and onions in addition to any of Subway’s fresh vegetable toppings.  Breakfast sandwiches are served on your choice of freshly baked breads, flatbread or a light wheat English muffin.

To promote the new menu, the agency bought television media, executed Internet promotions, outdoor billboards, in-store POP and signage, and created custom T-shirts worn by Certified Sandwich Artists.  The agency also leveraged relationships with local radio and television networks to create buzz by implementing on-air tastings and endorsements.

Star in your own Subway commercial

Central Floridians: here’s your chance to star in your own Subway $5 Footlong commercial that will air locally during the American Idol Finale. The promotion goes a little something like this: 

Take a video of yourself singing the $5 Footlong jingle. 

Log on at My Fox Orlando  and upload your video. 

Be sure to vote for your favorite video, too (which, of course, should be yours if you just uploaded one). If you win, you’ll not only have your video air locally on FOX35 during the American Idol Finale, but you’ll also receive a $500 Subway card. 

Better get those cameras rolling, though – the deadline to enter is April 19.
