The outdoor executions generated lots of talk value and PR. The execution brought the new “Know no boundaries” positioning to life in an attention-grabbing way, which made the line stick in the minds of our audience. There was a 91% recall of the line and the campaign. Results were extremely favourable. The executions helped generate 91% brand awareness and 66% consideration, which led to an 88% conversion rate into heavy usage.
The brief was simply “Know no boundaries”. The team therefore looked at how best to break the limitations of existing media. Large scale outdoor is nothing new, but this was the first time that this traditional medium had been pushed beyond its own boundaries.
The Sydney Morning Herald was launching its new positioning of “Know no boundaries”. In an increasingly digital world, where news was freely and easily accessible, we needed to prove to our loyal customer base that we were a forward thinking brand, that stopped at nothing to get to the truth. We needed to bring the positioning of “Know no boundaries” to life.The readers of The Sydney Morning Herald are extremely loyal. The news brand has one of the largest followings in Australia. People trust the integrity of the brand and appreciate the quality of their independent journalism.We wanted to bring our positioning of “Know no boundaries” to life by going beyond the limitations of an already existing medium. Our new positioning line is “Know no boundaries”. This creative execution brought the positioning to life in an innovative way that would stick in the minds of our target audience.
