Synopsis | The ad is very minimalist in its art-direction deploying just two visual elements off a white backgound. The headline makes the point that the Penguin imprint serves as a guarantee of quality in choosing a book. The manner in which only half the logo appears is testament to both the boldness of the ad's execution and the recognizability of the Penguin device. |
Philosophie | The task entrusted to Mustoe Merriman Herring Levy was to position Penguin as a purveyor of distinction, innovation and entertainment. The brand strategy for the advertising was to 'claim ownership of language and reading'. |
Problème | Penguin Books is the leading publisher in the UK. To an extent, however, it had become a victim of its own success. The logo is so familiar, the famous old orange spines so prevalent that book buying consumers had begun to perceive Penguin as an old-fashioned brand. Penguin needed to move away from such school-room associations and create a public image more in keeping with its cutting-edge publishing output. |
