The Wall Street Journal and its agency, The&Partnership, are introducing the “Good Things Come To Those Who Don’t Wait" campaign to entice new subscribers. WSJ is doubling down on domestic prospects with this nationwide campaign. The "pro-action" creative is designed to convey how the publication inspires both subscribers and aspiring leaders. The campaign kicks off with “The Runner,” a film airing nationwide on TV, cinema, social and online, that depicts someone who from birth has never stopped moving, driven by their ambition. 

With gender equality a hot topic within both the media and advertising, the spot made a conscious effort to represent women both in front and behind the scenes. The spot was directed by Ellen Kuras, a Journal reader herself and producer with The Corner Shop. Having made her career in a largely male-dominated industry, Kuras made sure that the female protagonist in the spot felt "authentic, likeable, relatable and inspiring."

This film is supported with OOH media placements as well across social media via #dontwait hashtag.
