THE IDEA
"Twitterature" - Classic novels of the literary canon, reimagined as tweets of no more than 140 chars. All summed up with the line: "Get the whole story. In short". Hinting at a world of exclusivity... And ushering in a unique dialogue with fans – extending to mobile and online activation.
THE RESULT
10,000 followers and counting. And – importantly – one happy client.
