Maddie Cotterill

Media advertising owner and manufacturer of digital rooftop taxi advertising, Metropolis has announced a strategic alliance with C & S Taxis London and at the same time, rebranded itself as Metropolis Digital Outdoor which it believes, more accurately positions the business in the market.

METROPOLIS_PARENTDanny Faughnan, CEO of Metropolis, told us “C & S Taxis was the obvious choice for us. John has 42 years’ experience in the licensed taxi trade and he continues to invest in brand new taxis for his fleet – which he expects to grow from 450 to 500 vehicles this year. C & S is also an advocate of relevant new technology in support of the licensed taxi trade.”

Metropolis’s TXi-Media Pods are now on more than 100 black cabs and it is claimed that this deal gives Metropolis exclusive access to one of the biggest, strategically best-placed and most forward-thinking black cab taxi fleets in London.

John Sofroniou, CEO of C & S Taxis London said, he chose Metropolis for its technical innovation and media expertise (we are told that C & S will not partner with any other digital screen provider).

Danny Faughnan, commenting on the re-brand said “We feel that the new branding very simply expresses to people what Metropolis is all about, at a pivotal time as we pass through the 100 taxi – 200 screens deployment milestone in the capital.”
