SS+K launched a new campaign for The New Yorker featuring an online spot and accompanying print and social executions.
The 60-second spot, entitled “Train” was shot by director J.C. Chandor at Union Station in Los Angeles. It shows a man making his way through the station, noticing small stories unfolding around him as he approaches his train. When he finally he sits down and opens his tablet to finish a story in The New Yorker, he notices a young woman reading a print copy of the magazine. The video will run on YouTube, Hulu, and newyorker.com while the campaign’s print component, shot by photographer Stephen Wilkes, will appear in such publications as The Economist, Food & Wine, People, Vanity Fair, Bon Appétit and Vogue.
“This campaign is about the everyday stories that exist all around us, the stories The New Yorker is so good at delivering,” said Bobby Hershfield, partner and chief creative officer at SS+K.
“Readers and potential readers of The New Yorker share a code: they are readers who are innately curious, with eclectic, contemporary tastes,” added Rob Shepardson, partner and co-founder of SS+K. “Only at The New Yorker can you enjoy a diverse range of stories expertly told, with iconic depth and accuracy, on multiple platforms. Today’s readers—no matter their interests—will find their place in The New Yorker. We set out to tell that story.”
