USA TODAY - video and experiential

Despite USA Today being tailored fairly well towards young adults with it’s well-packaged news stories, it is often underused by this target.

To push it more towards this target, we created a video ad that showcases the benefits of being in the know about the world around you. Additionally, we created unique pop-up experiences that can be more easily discovered by people using the USA Today app, for they receive a notification if one of these pop-ups is near their location.
