Research statistics

The campaign’s mix of film and lifestyle creators generated strong excitement and anticipation for Bookish. Zainab’s viral Reel and Katie Woods’ visual storytelling stood out, while other creators built trust and credibility. Paid media extended reach, and audience sentiment was overwhelmingly positive, especially around Mark Gatiss and the 1940s London setting.
