How We
did it

Understanding the audience the client wanted to reach, we identified the Financial Times Big Read feature slot as a prime opportunity to tell a detailed story and reach the right people. We developed pitch to the consumer industries reporter that positioned the client as enabling forward-thinking consumer goods brands to capitalise on an emerging technology trend, offering interviews with spokespeople from the client and its customers.

Six months after the initial engagement with the journalist, the full-page feature appeared, built almost entirely around customer testimonials providing priceless third-party endorsement.
