Clever branding campaign uses celebrities in postcards
Article Abstract:
German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung has started an image campaign for its uspcale readers, which supersedes its 'There is always a clever mind behind it' brand campaign. The newspaper distributed postcards at fairs as an incentive to order a test subscription. Among the personalities portrayed on the postcards are supermodel Nadja Auermann; Ulf Merbold, the first German in space; and Hollywood director Bill Wilder. The postcards have become collectibles, requiring frequent reprints.
