Question

The Folio Society Creative Campaign Brief

The Folio Society is an independent publisher known for high-quality, illustrated editions of classic and contemporary books that hold deep emotional and cultural value. They asked us to develop a series of seasonal campaigns that would do more than drive sales: they wanted to connect with their audience through a creative platform celebrating the books as something to be revered.

The challenge was to move beyond short-term campaigns and build a creative platform that would continue to resonate with an audience that values beauty, legacy and meaning across the year. This work needed to push creative boundaries while following The Folio Society’s established aesthetic.

Change

The Folio Society Creative Campaign Concept

We began with brand immersion, research and a creative workshop to identify emotional drivers for core audiences. Next, we built a strategic creative platform to unify seasonal storytelling while allowing each campaign to express its own visual mood.

Behind the seasonal campaigns, we developed the evergreen ‘big idea’ Wonderland. This layered, dreamlike world celebrates multiple perspectives, creativity and imagination. Inspired by the season’s rich colours, we crafted an immersive visual landscape, expressed through themes, theatre, colour palettes, shapes, and materials, where the books become portals to infinite worlds.

Outcome

The Folio Society Creative Campaign

This campaign reframed The Folio Society’s editions as more than seasonal products, positioning them as coveted cultural artefacts.

The Folio Society now has a campaign model that respects brand heritage while opening space for imagination and ambitious future expressions.

The campaign strengthened brand distinction, deepened emotional resonance with the collectors and introduced a strategy built for continued evolution.
