FT WEEKEND
CREATIVE DIRECTION / WRITING / LOGO DESIGN
CHALLENGE
To reposition the weekend edition of the Financial Times as a stand-alone publication focusing on the typical lifestyle interests of readers of the daily publication..
INSIGHT
Research showed that FT readers see difference as an advantage.
SOLUTION
To visualise the 'difference' FT Weekend offers as the difference it brings to its readers - that the quality of the content is so good, it changes you as a person. Directing the creative team, the result was a series of double exposure images with minimal copy to reflect the high-end values of the audience.
The campaign rolled out globally, via TVC, cinema, OOH, press, in-store & digital and increased subscriptions by over 10%. I also created the logo, which is always a nice touch for a writer!
