1 – 8 MARCH 2023 “M6 – A project as green as spring”

Between 1 and 8 March 2023, the Contractor ran the PR campaign “M6 – A project as green as spring”, dedicated to this period, in accordance with the Beneficiary’s requirements, split into two components: Corporate direct mailing, to partners, and the “Travelling Mărțișor” sampling campaign, for the general public.

1.1 CORPORATE PR component – direct mailing

The Contractor distributed to the Beneficiary, the Supervisor and the contacts in its own database kits bearing the M6 logo and containing a chocolate clover, a daffodil bulb in a pot wrapped in a jute pouch tied with a cotton mărțișor thread, a flower-shaped card suspended on a wooden stick, personalised with the headline “M6 – A project as green as spring”, and an M6 mărțișor with lichen and a craft card personalised with the wish “A beautiful spring”.

The Contractor delivered the M6 mărțișoare for the Beneficiary’s list on 1 March, and the rest of the kit on 6 March.

Total number of recipients in the Beneficiary’s database, including the press 169

Total number of recipients in the Supervisor’s database 30

Total number of recipients in the Contractor’s database 101

Total number of recipients 300

1.2 SAMPLING component

The Contractor prepared 550 mărțișoare, entitled “Travelling Mărțișor”, personalised with the logo, the M6 map and the headline “M6 Metro Line, a project as green as spring”, and made them available to the Beneficiary on the morning of 1 March. The Contractor, together with PR representatives of the Supervisor and of the Beneficiary, ran the sampling campaign for the travelling public.

The campaign took place on the metro route between Dristor 2 station and Gara de Nord 2 station.

The mărțișoare were distributed partly in the carriages of a metro train that set off from Dristor 2 station. The campaign was photographed and filmed by the Contractor. The remaining mărțișoare were handed out by the Beneficiary’s representatives on the platform of Gara de Nord 2 station.

During the campaign from 1 to 8 March, the Beneficiary ran on its own network of advertising screens a video prepared by the Contractor to promote the M6 project as a major and highly topical part of the Beneficiary’s activity.

The photographs from the event were made available to the Beneficiary and the Supervisor on the same day. Some of them were placed by the Contractor and the Beneficiary into templates produced by the Contractor for the Beneficiary’s Facebook page. The Beneficiary posted them the same day. The footage from the event was edited into a video based on a model sent by the Beneficiary to the Contractor and was sent to the Beneficiary and the Supervisor on the day of the event, to be used in a post on the Beneficiary’s Facebook page.

2022 – ECO Christmas

Between 10 and 28 December 2022, the Contractor ran the “ECO Christmas” campaign.

The creative concept of the campaign: “Every day we build a sustainable future. Now we are building the future.”

Approach: the importance of the M6 project, a major urban infrastructure project, was underlined through suggestive, symbolic means, drawing on a strategy based on the power of example. Rather than emphasising the glitter of the holidays, the campaign set out to highlight the benefits that well-made things bring to people’s lives. We chose a simple and memorable gift, one that can be brought to life. In the form of a direct mailing campaign, the project was communicated to stakeholders, partners and the press, conveying a long-term message and also an invitation to get directly involved. In this way, we set out to emphasise nature, continuity and perspective, the lasting value of professional and human relationships, and the importance of things achieved through working together.

Campaign elements: a fir planting kit and a holiday message.

Kit contents: a bio box, a biodegradable pot, a small bottle of Abies Alba fir seeds, fertile sowing soil, planting instructions, a craft bag, a label tied with string, a fir sprig, a card and an envelope.

The mailing was segmented bilingually (Romanian and English), according to the recipients in the database built by the Contractor, the Supervisor and the Beneficiary.

Total number of recipients in the Beneficiary’s database 218

Total number of recipients in the Supervisor’s database 27

Total number of recipients in the Contractor’s database 135

Total number of recipients 380

Campaign approval date: 12 December;

Approval date for the printed materials: 13 December;

Approval date for the print runs: 14 December;

Production period: 16–19 December;

Delivery date: 20 December.

Important announcement regarding metro train traffic on M4 Metro Line

Metrorex informs that, starting with September 1, 2025, there will be temporary changes in train traffic on M4 Metro Line (Gara de Nord 2 – Străulești), following work to connect the new M6 Metro Line to the existing network.
