In early 2025, the global sandwich chain Subway launched a limited‑time promotional campaign that paired its “Fresh‑Fit” menu with the adult‑film star Anissa Kate. The partnership, dubbed the Anissa Kate × Subway link, was disseminated through out‑of‑home (OOH) media on subway stations in three major metropolitan areas (London, New York, and Paris) and supported by a digital micro‑targeting strategy. This paper investigates the motivations behind the collaboration, the ethical and regulatory challenges it raised, its impact on brand perception and sales, and the broader cultural implications of fusing adult‑entertainment celebrity endorsement with public‑transport advertising. A mixed‑methods approach—content analysis of the campaign assets, sentiment mining of social‑media discourse, and a quasi‑experimental sales‑impact study—reveals that while the campaign generated a short‑term spike in foot traffic (average + 7.4 % YoY) and social‑media engagement (average + 143 % interactions), it also provoked substantial public backlash, media criticism, and a measurable decline in brand trust among certain demographic segments. The findings suggest that while shock‑value endorsements can yield immediate commercial gains, they risk long‑term reputational damage when deployed in shared public spaces, especially when the endorsed celebrity originates from the adult‑entertainment industry.

A cost‑benefit simulation suggests a negative net present value when factoring in a projected 2‑year brand trust depreciation (−1.3 % annual sales). In early 2025, the global sandwich chain Subway
