CONTRACT PUBLISHING
LISTED The Objective Leading West London estate agent Bective wanted to produce a publication that attracted applicants rather than vendors as quickly as possible. A product that was equal in cost to a newspaper but on trend and attractive enough to pick up. A digital edition to mail out to a large database needed to be provided. Distribution had to be unique and all lifestyle content provided. The Solution Listed was successfully published and launched in June with a print run of 50,000 three weeks after the first concept meeting. It was distributed by our partners at carefully selected relevant tube stations over one week, to local businesses and to select residential addresses. The Results The client’s objectives were entirely met. Business was gained instantly and the brand’s profile has been elevated.

PRINT ADVERTISING
DE BEERS The Objective To devise a creative alternative solution to traditional advertising and marketing for our prospective client, De Beers. The Solution The client wanted to showcase their products in a more creative and imaginative way, so our team of thinkers and doers explored the options and pitched a fashion shoot takeover. We themed our monthly fashion shoot around the new De Beers collection, Adonis Rose, and showcased the jewellery in a high fashion setting, which was then published across all of the London Absolutely titles. The Results The client was delighted with the outcome, which led to them working more closely with Zest on a variety of other projects, including advertorials, advertising and editorial.
