Xerox’s “Set the Page Free” wins in the Business to Business Campaign category in Online Marketing
Xerox is an iconic brand with a strong history of innovation in office technology and printing. The challenge is, while people know Xerox, they think foremost of its legacy as a copier company. In partnership with Y&R, a collaboration was born that brought to life Xerox’s new communications platform and positioned the brand at the intersection of print and digital. Set the Page Free brought together 14 famous writers to collaborate and create an e-book about the modern workplace. This shareable content was marketed via a mobile-first landing page that hosted behind the scenes videos and podcasts with the writers and leveraged sequential video retargeting to re-engage audiences to build engagement and brand relevancy. Aside from earning a wide variety of press coverage, including the New York Times, Entertainment Weekly and Cheddar, the campaign resulted in impressive engagement lifts for Xerox.com and an increase in business interest.
