Building thought leadership in mobility

Make SHARE NOW a part of the conversation around London’s changing mobility landscape

Nelson Bostock worked with SHARE NOW to identify the issues which are going to affect Londoners the most, and developed robust consumer research stories to give SHARE NOW a voice in the media on these issues.

Zuora, A Nation Subscribed

Create a new category leader.

Zuora is driving the biggest consumption shift in the 21st century: from buying products outright to subscribing to services. But while many of us will have interacted with Zuora’s technology, not many will have heard of the company.

Our challenge was to change this, raising awareness amongst a large, national audience and building Zuora’s profile as the undisputed Subscription Economy thought leader.

Nelson Bostock used consumer research to craft original, eye-catching storylines that delivered unprecedented levels of coverage – including breaking into the UK nationals for the first time.
