The holidays are a time to celebrate our shared projects – as a team, as a family, and as a community. M6, a project for people! We wanted to share the beautiful moments of winter holidays with our colleagues. The scent of a fir tree and the glow of a Christmas ornament, along with warm holiday wishes and an invitation to pass them on, were how we chose to promote the new M6 Metro Line in the corporate environment.

For the general public, the holidays carried the same message of heartfelt thoughts worth sharing. Passengers in metro stations and carriages received green Christmas hats and news about the new M6 Metro Line.

Within the framework of the “M6 Metro Line seen through the eyes of children” campaign METROREX and Alsim Alarko – Makyol organized the exhibition “We bring children’s ideas to light”, in a mix of live and online elements. The exhibition was held at Străulești Metro Station, in the space belonging to the Metro Museum, which also serves as the station’s passenger entrance and exit area. The key elements of the exhibition were the drawings created by children for the 1st of June campaign. Designed in a creative and attractive format, the exhibition complemented the children’s drawings with simple yet effective components: light installations generating a warm, friendly, and playful atmosphere, uniting in the same luminous spirit the feeling of home, the joy of the holiday and the urban vibe of summer gardens, illuminated with modern, creative, urban design lights.

Easter is a deeply cherished celebration for Romanians. The Easter holidays offer tranquility, peace, and joy. They bring us together for family gatherings and give us refreshing, calm moments in nature. Easter restores our vitality and the verve of sunny spring days. METROREX and Alsim Alarko – Makyol extended their best wishes to passengers via the TV screen network in metro stations and on social media.

“A project as green as spring!” – A corporate campaign that emphasizes the significance of the moment, merging the fertile nature/season of femininity with the start of a new major urban infrastructure project. At the same time, aligned with the uniquely feminine celebrations at the beginning of March, the context was suitable to connect the concept of equal opportunities with the importance of the M6 project. The value of feminine involvement was emphasized through its association with the vital, regenerative force that spring brings to the cycle of seasons. A chocolate clover, a bulb flower, and a lichen-adorned mărțișor conveyed the message “Wishing You a Beautiful Spring!” in an eco-friendly, natural campaign.

Public Campaign: “Traveling-Mărțișor!” Crocheted hearts made from M6 green wool were offered to female passengers on the platform and in metro carriages on March 1st.
