Institute of Chartered Accountants for England & Wales

The Challenge:

The ICAEW needed to increase awareness of their ICA financial qualifications to business professionals and final year students in the UK - with a focus on London.

Building Brand Awareness

Niche targeting, Big Impact

 
What we did:

We ran a national & regional press and multi-format outdoor campaign in the UK, focusing on London in order to reach the core business audience.  Leading financial press, business sections of broadsheets & regional business publications were used to reach the commuter/business audience.  6 sheets & 16 sheet underground cross track advertising were incorporated to follow the journey of the commuter, we focused on station sites in proximity to large accounting firms and financial institutions to further target the message and create the illusion of a larger campaign to an influential audience. 

High profile sites at City airport and 6 sheets at Edinburgh airport ensured targeted messaging and assured dwell time for communicating to an International business audience

The result:

A highly successful 'standout' campaign reaching the core business market that delivered a perceptively high impact, above and beyond the budget applied to it. The targeted nature of the activity and the fact that the 'medium was part of the message' provided the client with a big campaign from a limited budget.
