We expect to run a campaign next week when the creative, copy, and legal all are ready.

Target Audience (MVP) Primary audience: Curious Londoners who are passionate about their city, who are interested in discovering new things around them “Bottom up” curious explorers: they are driven by a immediate experiences with reinforcement about their exploratory behavior. A novel, complex, unexpected, or uncertain event results in a sense of wonder and a desire to explore it. “Top down” interest-driven curious people: they seek out information based on search for novel stimuli. This may be based on specific interests or niche interests. Second Audience: visitors to the city of London who want to go off the beaten track and discover new things on their own Stories Breadth Use Cases: Focused on bottom up curious Londoners who seek surprise and delight through exploration as Strange, Interesting, Hidden things around the city. Depth Use Cases: Focused to top-down curious Londoners who have interest in a specific topic. Initial Experimental topics: Public Art, Buildings, Jack the Ripper We already have around 700 POIs!
