Execution
We chose not to explain, but to demonstrate how captivating newspapers can be. And we demonstrated it to the core of our target audience: the advertiser. How? On the election day of the Advertiser Personality of the Year, the 3 nominees were given a car with a private driver so they had time to read the newspaper. During the ride we tried to distract them with some unusual happenings like a burning man and a bear driving a car… But none of the advertisers noticed any of the distractions, they all kept reading. We made a movie of the stunt and send it by emailing to all Belgian advertisers to spread the message.
Strategy
In this digital era newspapers tend to fall off the media plan. That’s why Newspaperswork, the marketing platform for all Belgian newspaper publishers, wanted to reconnect with advertisers and media agencies (B2B) by explaining once more why newspapers still are an effective and very captivating medium.
