The Economist recently expanded on its new ‘Never Stop Questioning’ TV commercials with an experiential activation campaign at London Victoria train station.
The interactive campaign took place on January 14th 2019, running across four days, and displayed some questions that appeared on the latest TV ads for the publication. Consumers passing through the station were able to interact with each question such as ‘Does social media help or harm democracy? The participant then received a printout of a QR code, revealing the answers which took them onto the full article on the website, also allowing non-subscribers to register for free access.
The Economist chief marketing officer, Mark Cripps said: “At The Economist, we have always believed it is by posing and debating difficult questions that people, society and commerce progresses and move forward. This experience brings to life the idea that we survive and thrive by asking why.
By consuming our content, readers will be better armed with the tools they need to prepare themselves for the future.”
This experience was brought to life by brand experience agency Sense London.
