Innovative flexibility between portrait and landscape, paper-and-pen simplicity in a computer format.This group is very busy and they're bombarded with competitive technology messages. As a result they are a difficult group to communicate with effectively.So we set ourselves an additional communication goal ... Inspire them with innovative media that's simple to understand.
Execution
Our team worked closely with Microsoft from the outset, testing early versions of the Tablet so we really understood the benefits it would bring to mobile computer users. We developed our idea and worked hard to persuade media owners to deconstruct and reconstruct key poster sites in a way which had never been done before. And we travelled along key commuter routes to identify the most relevant opportunities and sites.To make sure the creative treatment fully exploited the new media opportunities, we co-briefed the creative teams and co-ordinated efforts between media owner, creative agency and client.
