The Campaign

To show that – even in a modern world that is dominated by digital influences – printed newspapers can open new perspectives on current topics, we chose an unusual view on the medium itself.

Creative Execution

We stacked newspapers on a single unfolded cover page that showed the lover half of the cover picture. Seen from a certain angle, the picture got distorted and added a new layer of meaning to the topic: It expressed expectations and fears associated with the item and made people even more curious about the announced news special.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

During the run of the campaign the retail sales were increased by 8 percent. The number of subscriptions grew 6.8 percent.
