Health insurer organization BlueCross BlueShield’s ads boarded Washington, D.C.’s Metro buses for a campaign targeting Federal employees during 2022 open enrollment season. In order to discover how effectively the ads resonated and drove website visitation, OUTFRONT worked with StreetMetrics, an independent third-party measurement and attribution provider.
