This Stabilo campaign brilliantly turns a simple marker into a storytelling tool. At first glance, it’s a black-and-white photo of President Woodrow Wilson. But then, the iconic yellow line draws your eyes down to a lesser-known yet remarkable figure—Edith Wilson, the First Lady who quietly took charge when her husband was incapacitated.
Why it works
- The yellow highlight instantly directs focus to someone overlooked.
- It connects the product’s purpose—highlighting—to a powerful idea: recognizing unsung heroes.
- The visual simplicity makes the emotional message clear and memorable.
