For the "failure" issue we made the cover look misprinted with "F+" prominently featured, taking the chance that readers would enjoy the irony of the bold visuals and connect with its implications.
A CTA in the magazine encouraged readers to share their experiences of failure and triumph on social media, generating increased engagement and user-created content.
We then shared and shouted out contributors in additional social media posts as well as email newsletters—encouraging continued engagement on the web and social.
