Overview

Background

The political world in the UK is in turmoil as Brexit edges ever closer. With so much noise and conflicting information available, the British people are confused and looking for a way to make sense of the mess. The Times and The Sunday Times have brought clarity and balance to politics since 1785, so we sought to remind them that the newspapers offer all the guidance and analysis they need.

Idea

UK politics has always been subject to the laws of the jungle, but because of Brexit, the House of Commons now resembles a zoo. The Times and The Sunday Times understand and translate the chaos better than anyone else.

Where we would typically see Members of Parliament, we now see political animals. Many of them known for the characteristics we so often see in UK politicians.

Execution

To illustrate the wild world of Westminster, we turned the House of Commons into a zoo, with a variety of animals illustrating the various traits of politicians.

Outcome

In just two weeks, subscriptions rose by over 15% (period-on-period).
