Introduced in 2019, Trinity Metro’s TEXRail light rail system connects DFW Airport to Fort Worth Central Station. J.O. Agency saw the opportunity to bring awareness to the new Trinity Metro services and further promote ridership.

Gold Award for the “We Got You!” Campaign”

As most transit systems experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, Trinity Metro saw a decline in ridership. While communicating the safety measures implemented by Trinity Metro, J.O. Agency challenged the voice of the pandemic and reassured customers in a light-hearted, optimistic way that it was safe to return to public transportation.

In conjunction with Trinity Metro’s marketing team and Make Something Beautiful, the “We Got You!” campaign was created. Illustrated through upbeat music, dancing and colorful masks, the campaign saw over 20 million impressions and achieved a 10.6 percent increase in Trinity Metro’s overall ridership between May and August.
