150 Years

Design and brand work across print, digital and out-of-home — marking 150 years of Glasgow's own paper.

Glasgow Times

150 years of Glasgow's paper, brought to the street, the screen and the front page.

Glasgow Times marked its 150th anniversary in 2026 with a campaign spanning out-of-home, digital and print. The work covers a wrapped taxi touring the city, a roll-up banner for the paper's newsletter arm, competition creative for online display, and the front pages that carried the celebration home.

The wrap made its own front page.

The taxi did its job twice over — once on the road, and again as a story in itself. Glasgow Times ran its own front-page feature on the wrap, turning the campaign into earned coverage.

05Case Study
Challenge

Mark 150 years in a way that felt earned, not just decorative — something people would notice on the street, not just in print.

Strategy

Take the masthead physically into the city, then let the paper cover its own campaign as a genuine news story.

Execution

A full taxi wrap, a roll-up banner for the newsletter arm, digital display creative and a dedicated front-page feature.

Results

Earned press coverage on top of the paid campaign — the wrap became a front-page story in its own right.
