Goodfellow writes, “The ‘Facts. Truths.’ campaign launching today (26 October) is one of the largest integrated brand campaigns the publisher has ever executed, and includes executions across print, digital, social, display, experiential and out of home, as well as targeted broadcast and paid media strategy.
“Election day is fast arriving so the FT has timed its campaign at a critical moment in the race as voters prepare to go to the polls.
