Analysis

The New York Public Library published classic books through Instagram Stories. This campaign demonstration shows an Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland page with a place to hold a thumb.

“Thumb here”
Platform adaptationUseful contentReading control

Why it worked

The library brings the book to an interface its audience already uses. The thumb position uses the story’s pause control to give readers time for the page. Text occupies the screen rather than directing people to another service. This makes the campaign’s promise of access something people can experience within the social platform.

Lesson

Use a platform’s existing controls to help people experience the service you promote.
