Norli´s Antique Books gives the busy and stressed a helping hand

Sunday, February 14th, 2010
There´s a lot of things to do at TBWA\OSLO these days, big shoots for biggest clients, big pitches etc. But in between, there´s still time in evenings and weekends to take care of Norli´s Antique Books.
Art directors Eva & Martin, copywriter Henrik and ECD Erik Heisholt, squeezed this campaign in between everything else in January, and again it´s all about the love of classic literature and great books. The campaign theme this time is commenting the time we live in – how fast everything goes, how little time we have. The Antique Book store gives us all a little helping hand, by squeezing great books down to a few sentences who gives you the whole story. It´s a nice gesture to the busy and stressed ones, and give them the chance of reading classic books too…Off course, we would prefer everyone to sit down and relax with the whole book, but everyone, even the stressed and busy, deserves great literature. Rolf, the owner of Norli´s Antique Books loved the new campaign, and it is all over his store as posters. It will also run as billboards, and we wonder if we should Twitter it, or if that is against an antiquarians policy. Have to talk to Rolf about that one…
And the typewriter-graphics is authentic, we did not use anything else than an old typewriter and paper, all lay out is done on the actual typewriter…
For our non-norwegian readers, here´s one excample Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen – translated into english.
All of them will be translated and done in english, but just so you get the idea:
To a busy person
