The Economist | Red Wires

A The Economist vai estrear na próxima sexta-feira, dia 3 de julho, a campanha “Red Wires”. O objetivo é atingir aquelas pessoas que a revista denomina de “intelectualmente curiosas”.

O ponto de partida foi uma pesquisa realizada no ano passado, que revelou que as mais de 3 milhões de pessoas estudando em universidades no Reino Unido tem especial interesse pelos assuntos tratados pela The Economist toda semana, mas que, ainda assim, não lêem a revista.

O que “Red Wires” faz é construir uma metáfora através de um equilibrista pulando por fios vermelhos, representando a conexão de diferentes idéias, assim como acontece em uma edição da The Economist. A assinatura diz: “Let your mind wander” (Deixe a sua mente vagar).

A criação é da Abbot Mead Vickers BBDO, com direção de Tom Carty, o mesmo que dirigiu o famoso comercial “Rush Hour (Parkour)” para a BBC em 2003.
