Financial Times Seeing Stars

Financial Times is encouraging American readers to take more of a global perspective, with “Seeing Stars”, a topical press advertisement featuring Barack Obama. Using the stars from the EU flag the execution shows the possible effect of a hard-hitting Eurozone crisis with a touch of wit and humour. “The Economic Crisis. How hard will it hit America?”
