Open listing-friendly platform RentHop unveils its subway ad campaign featuring RentHop RentCompare, a new tool that allows renters to find out if they’re overpaying or underpaying for rent.
NEW YORK, April 3, 2023 – RentHop announces RentHop RentCompare — a new tool that allows renters in New York City to find out if they’re overpaying or underpaying for rent — with a corresponding Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) subway ad campaign.
While the average rent in NYC has been widely discussed over the last year, RentHop RentCompare offers additional context and a more personalized view of how rental trends directly impact renters. New Yorkers can now easily find out if they’re getting a great (or not-so-great) deal and feel confident in their decision to renew their lease or move elsewhere.
NYC-based technology, design, and branding company Big Human served as the product strategy and creative agency for RentHop RentCompare and the ad campaign, which highlights common renter woes. To encourage New Yorkers to use RentHop RentCompare, the subway ads take on familiar occurrences such as the desire to compare your rent to someone else’s, pushing a relationship to its next level to save on rent, and the constant nagging question, “I know NYC is expensive, but am I overpaying for rent?” As the rental season picks up and New Yorkers and newcomers alike start looking for their next apartment, RentHop’s subway ad campaign demonstrates that the apartment search can be fun and data-driven with RentHop RentCompare.
