The campaign features a limited amount of branding at South Kensington and King's Cross St Pancras stations. Much of the advertising is for Samsung televisions, as part of a tie-in with Star Trek. In addition to visual elements, the London Underground network is broadcasting Star Trek-themed tannoy announcements. These announcements begin with a transporter sound effect and include themed messages. One announcement references the fictional Tribble creatures from the series, while another adapts the standard 'See It, Say It, Sort It' safety message.

The Star Trek branding campaign is scheduled to run on September 7th and 8th. Alongside the station activations, a Star Trek event is taking place at the Samsung store located at King's Cross. Furthermore, the Science Museum is hosting a Star Trek themed late opening on Tuesday evening.
