Brief Explanation

The client wanted to showcase their variety at the upcoming KL International Book Fair. But in an ADD marketplace with dozens of competitive publishers we had to grab attention, while at the same time speak to those who may have pigeonholed us to a certain role.

The Brief

Most people associate our brand with Penguin Classics, and the range had been doing well. Now, the client wanted to tell readers about the exciting titles available in other categories.

How the final design was conceived

We wanted to create a distinct visual identity that reflected the wide range of products, without sacrificing the familiarity of the brand. We found the solution right under our noses, or rather, on our spine.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

As the campaign is still in its early stages, results (in terms of sales and perception) are currently being tabulated.
