Penguin Readers Alone in Hong Kong

Penguin Books China launched a print advertising campaign in Hong Kong earlier this year showing normally busy streets as empty but for solitary readers. No cars. No pedestrians. Just a world accessed via a Penguin novel. Despite the “Gripping Novel” campaign being in for an award at the Clio Awards 2009, a number of people in the creative industry don’t appreciate it, judging from the comments at Ads of the World.
