The Economist asks Gen Y to 'dig deeper' with online branding campaign

The Economist is kick starting an online branding campaign targeting Generation Y throughout Asia-Pacific.

The Economist asks Gen Y to 'dig deeper' with online branding campaign

Generation Y, also known as ‘Gen why’, refers to people born after 1980. This online campaign lead by Clemenger BBDO Melbourne is branded under the tagline ‘Dig deeper'. The media agency is Zenith Optimedia in Hong Kong

The Economist is encouraging viewers to question and 'dig deeper' into current issues through a series of interesting images. The interactive banners let viewers zoom in to a selection of images to reveal the full picture. Each picture relates to an article of interest selected by The Economist.

“People turn to The Economist for genuine pleasure in expanding their knowledge of the world as they seek to dig deeper into issues that matter from a trusted independent source,” said Grace Hahn, group marketing director for Asia-Pacific at the publication.

The campaign is also encouraging free trials to sampler editions of the magazine.

Is testosterone to blame?

A matter of life and death?
