The Guardian has enlisted Uncommon Creative Studio to create a major new brand campaign.
Uncommon won the business after a pitch. Its work for The Guardian will launch this year and highlight the global impact of the news brand, which publishes in the UK, the US and Australia.
Guardian News & Media is in better financial health after hitting its target to break even in the 2018/19 period, following a three-year turnaround plan. The previously loss-making publisher partly attributed its growth to the introduction of a voluntary reader contribution model in 2016.
The Guardian had nearly a million paying supporters, including 655,000 regular payers and 300,000 one-off contributions, over the past year. However, it still operates a free, ad-funded website rather than a paywall.
The publisher aims to reach two million annual contributors by 2022, partly through international expansion. "We believe there’s a global opportunity," David Pemsel, chief executive of parent company Guardian Media Group, told ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 in June.
The Guardian confirmed the appointment to ±±¾©Èü³µpk10 but declined to provide further details.
