Oooo this is your subway, cool 🔥🤩 wanna go on that one day ☺️

Saw it on a bus too

There's no signup

needs URL as a CTA, as QR codes can be taped over etc

The brand is the signup.

Unique logo

Fun logo

Unique name

Consistent brand aesthetics

Consistent freedom and privacy messaging

my parents for example would not know what this is for

plumbing maybe?

mullvad says nothing, nor does the VPN part of it and the image also

but as it's most likely part of a bigger campaign with a tv ads + youtube ads, then the story comes together

Do you think your parents are Mullvad’s target customers?

NYC MTA subway have “free wifi”.

With everyone beaming wifi, and bluetooth everywhere, I’m pretty sure ad agencies can see who exactly interacted with subway ads.

yeah, was the thing i was pondering on after clicking post

demographics and targeting

i'm not sure

Curiosity is also powerful marketing. Guarantee people who saw that and didn’t know what it was would simply google it on their phones.

i think you overestimate people's curiosity

or maybe i'm a doomer

Mullvad is a for profit co. Doubt they would be spending $ to compete with BigCo consumer retail cos in pricy NYC unless there were returns.

This is a strong signal to privacy and freedom texh cos that there is demand to counter the gulag tech status quo.

You generate an account number.

Do you also "sign up" for a bitcoin wallet when you generate a seed?

Not worth it to enter a discussion if random bits are created or discovered, my point is that traditionally the term "signup" is loaded and suggests providing PII such an email.

So adverts are good when convenient eh? 😏

Adverts are good when they’re not invasive 😅

Altho I’ve learned to block its invasiveness even then I still don’t want it.. at all.

Without ads on the train we’d actually haft to look at other people.

which city is this?

An American one.

wen nostr advertisement?

“NOSTRings attached” - that’s it. That’s the slogan. 🤣

Recently (a year ago) I made some research about VPN, because mine didn't work here. But Mullvad I didn't see anywhere!

Sounds like you should have been mindful of your own damn bidness.

Not my problem if they didn’t have a privacy screen cover.

They don't have money for privacy screen but they care about "security" and pay for Swedish-one of the worst jurisdiction when it comes to privacy- service.

That is how marketing works and stupid sheep follow.🙂

on the NYC subway. mind blown

Best VPN IMHO.
