Building on the brief
![Page 5: Unity Thousand Autumns, David Mitchell, Pr Case study](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022413/58eeb5e61a28ab85568b468d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Missing ingredients • Core ‘Thousand Readers’ idea - a nice creative
route for above-the-line activity • But needed to inject something else in order to
drive buzz (and coverage) • Introducing…
![Page 6: Unity Thousand Autumns, David Mitchell, Pr Case study](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022413/58eeb5e61a28ab85568b468d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

The Reading Room • We developed an offline, experiential element to
the campaign • Designed to drive buzz and coverage around the
online campaign • As well as providing a real-world space in which
people could experience the novel first-hand
![Page 7: Unity Thousand Autumns, David Mitchell, Pr Case study](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022413/58eeb5e61a28ab85568b468d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Strategic approach • Create a pop-up reading room in an interesting and
talkable location • Use the reading room and the novelty of the wider
campaign to drive coverage opportunities meaning that the campaign would be overheard by many
![Page 8: Unity Thousand Autumns, David Mitchell, Pr Case study](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022413/58eeb5e61a28ab85568b468d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

A word on: budget • Budget was extremely limited for the activity,
especially with the addition of the reading room • Unity took a hit on fees in order to execute the
campaign within budget • No budget available for location costs etc. –
more time/resources required to bring the idea to life

Online home • We recommended creating the main home for
the campaign on Facebook, with a separate microsite providing a secondary review mechanic
• A tab was created within the Facebook page, hosting all the themes and reviews
• All copy and design was produced by Unity with input and approval from Sceptre

12
Engaging themes • Unity recommended giving people the
opportunity to review an extract relating to a specific theme within the book, highlighting its many different genres
• Seven themes identified within the book • Relevant extracts selected, approved by David
and featured on site
![Page 13: Unity Thousand Autumns, David Mitchell, Pr Case study](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022413/58eeb5e61a28ab85568b468d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Guest editors • We suggested securing influencers to act as
guest ‘editors’ for each of the themes, who would each provide their own review, lending the campaign immediate credibility: - Kylie Clark, Japan National Tourism Organisation - John-Paul Pryor, Dazed & Confused - Mark Rappolt, Art Review - Edwina Langley, The Lady - Clare Longrigg, Psychologies - Natasha McNamara, Glamour.com - Simon Busch, MSN Travel

Social communities • Campaign centred on Facebook, but Twitter
profile created to engage influencers • Profiles managed throughout activity • Outreach to reading fans and book clubs on
Facebook, Twitter & specialist sites • Engage existing fans of David Mitchell, the
different genre(s) and good writing in general

ABC1 audience and great setting for peaceful reading space
• Reading room produced by Unity for minimal budget, in situ (and staffed) at Spitalfields for four days

• Media event held in space

Key learnings

Learnings • Innovative campaigns acts as content to generate
widespread coverage and WOM, even where direct engagement is relatively low
• Regardless of the return (ie. the prize), it can be difficult to drive large numbers of people to proactively engage
• Facebook custom tab is great for user experience but does not work for socialising a campaign – peer-to-peer effect did not happen effectively (also means content is hidden)
• Challenges in promoting paperback to influencers
