The Wall Street Journal Barron's Group: Read Yourself Better by The&Partnership
- Location:
Kicking off with a national TV spot from acclaimed director Juan Cabral (known for directing the UK’s favorite ad of all time with the Cadbury Gorilla), the latest campaign from The Wall Street Journal challenges readers to go beyond the easy answers and echo-chamber certitude of our overloaded media culture.
The animating ethos is one of self-determination – only by reading past the memes, hashtags and algorithmically-selected news stories that populate our media feeds can we make better decisions, informed by facts and not passions. The message is that the WSJ is for those that want to think and do for themselves.
