More thrilling than the film

The Library takes you to the cinema

Together with the Library Zuid Kennemerland, we started the campaign “More thrilling than the film” to draw more young people into the Library. Book and film interact, emphasizing the power of stories found in the Library. Films are definitely a lot of fun, but a book might be even more thrilling.

The campaign phrase and the commercial crank up the debate and make people curious for more stories. We developed the commercials concept and took care of its production, directions and editing. The ad was shown in theatres for two months, and everyone who joined the Library during this time received a cinema gift card. Posters in the cinema were the campaigns finishing touch.

Making of
