CLIENT
Facebook is an online social networking service with over 1.23 billion monthly users.
BRIEF
Create Facebook’s first ever EMEA-wide print publication. It must showcase top content from the Facebook Download newsletter, compiled in a publication which is refined yet unpredictable, engaging, and characterful, and could deliver a considered, coherent message to recipients. Facebook: The Annual, required a human touch.
APPROACH
The purpose was primarily engagement, and to echo the values which Facebook works to foster. We used print techniques that produced an outcome unobtainable on screen, such as the die-cut on the cover—a window to the creative blossom behind the scenes at Facebook. Further reflecting Facebook’s brand, the text is set in the key color as is the thread to bind the book, the standfirsts and titles sit within the Facebook window. The book was presented to the EMEA Facebook marketing teams for distribution and quickly picked up by the US team to begin discussions for the 2014 edition.
