When I read about the strategy of this campaign on The Drum, I remembered the time 10 years ago when I was putting together an advertising manifesto for my first agency with my friend Sveti Šomšák.

One point of the manifesto read as follows: Advertising is a platform for giving names to symbols / Advertising is a platform for giving names to symbols

This is exactly what the “Red Consultancy” agency managed to do perfectly. They used the iconic and unchanging symbol of the London Underground and combined it with the PlayStation 5 symbols.

As “Red Consultancy” writes: Our job was to create a cultural watershed moment for the launch of PlayStation 5 in the UK.

They did it perfectly!

I have been involved in advertising and marketing since 1999. From advertising photography and graphic design to copywriting, I have progressed to positions as an art director and marketing consultant. During this time, I have created several successful brands, campaigns, TV spots, and e-commerce projects. Recently, I have focused on brand creation and their consistent communication, as well as building associations based on the archetypes defined by C. G. Jung, and developing complex brand strategies. Branding and online marketing have been the subjects of my recent lectures and workshops for clients, organizations, students, and the general public.
