Of course he's using NLP. And of course he always trumps up his achievements to seem more than they actually are. Remind you of any particular profession? At the beginning of every Derren Brown show, be it live or TV, he always states that it's a mixture of Psyche tricks and showmanship. This is the showmanship he refers to. Oh, and as a footnote, if roadside 'subliminal advertising' doesn't work, then why is it still one of the top 3 ad incomes in the US and Europe? COmpanies wouldn't spend millions on signs you only briefly see if they didn't work. The point is you see the same reference repeatedly. You may be a psychologist, but you can't be a very good one if you still think that 'hypnotism' is even something to attack. Mr Brown himself knows that hypnotism is all consent based. But make people *think* it's 'real', and they fall for it. The power of suggestion! It's made mr Richard Bandler millions. To ‘A Psychologist’. Of course he’s using NLP.

Brown is a trailed neuro-linguisitic-programmer; expert in a dubious pseudo science, similar to hypnostism, often used for political manipulation and *cough* seduction. He may have used neurolinguistic suggestions to achieve the effect portrayed here (assuming it's not scripted), but he certainly did not use subliminal roadside adverts.
