The Solution
I created the strapline ‘See Your World Differently’ to convey the idea of what you would notice in your surroundings after a visit to the Science Museum. Then, using one everyday object per poster that wasn’t obviously scientific, I explained the hidden science facts for people in an easily digestible way.
The poster campaign was a huge success which ran for two years, it was extended to advertising for the IMAX and the Space season at the museum. Campaign research showed that 40% of visitors saw/heard the campaign, 18% of visitors (74,056 people) said that the campaign influenced their decision to visit, 24% of visitors saw the campaign on London Underground and the top four words that family visitors associated with the creative were: fun, kids, interesting, learning. Furthermore, The Natural History Museum quoted the campaign as a reason for their lower than expected visitor figures during this period.
