29 Creative Literary Campaigns

From Eco-Conscious Book Campaigns to Fictional World-Blending Ads

— August 30, 2013 — Marketing
Encouraging literacy amongst youths and teens can be a challenge, but these creative literary campaigns have utilized unique marketing techniques and outside-the-box themes in order to promote reading in a thought-provoking way.

While reading books and stories are all things that are featured in school at a very early age, youngsters can easily get distracted by other more engaging outdoor activities and technological devices. That's why these creative literary campaigns have sought to utilize unique and thought-provoking techniques to help draw in more people and promote the importance of reading and literary.

From literary ads that feature classic fairytale characters engaged in realistic situations to immersive fiction campaigns and distracted dragon ads, these creative techniques are striving to demonstrate just how important and essential literacy can be, especially to a younger generation.
