The campaign, created by The Assembly, launches on 16 September and will run across sites on the London Underground and national train stations. 

It will also include a digital and social media push and experiential activity themed around the Cold War, which is the subject of the book.

The activity is aimed at bringing in a younger audience, as well as appealing to the spy genre’s traditional readership.

The Assembly won the account in July after a competitive pitch against undisclosed agencies.

John le Carré moved to Penguin last autumn, after 38 years at Hodder & Stoughton.
