Brief Explanation

To convince media and marketing decision makers that the good old newspaper is still relevant for advertising we directed their attention to a unique ability of newspapers: directing the attention!

The Brief

ZMG, the Newspaper Marketing Association of German newspapers, wanted to show in an integrated campaign that advertising in newspapers is better than its reputation.

How the final design was conceived

Newspapers deliver information that we need everyday, information that captivates us. All the stories and exciting news produced by world affairs draw our undivided attention to the newspaper. Of course ads have an easier job when we are really focused on a medium. Like in the newspaper. The graphical idea of the campaign is to make this mechanism visible: All the stories and headlines in the newspaper direct attention the ads. And thereby help them work. What happens in the world, happens for your ad.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The campaign is stirring up a lot of conversation in the target market: media buyers, advertisers and potential clients are realising that ads in newspapers are still powerful and effective.
