Sable&Hawkes design new marketing suite for Access to Research

PLS’s Access to Research (A2R) service provides free, on‑site access to over 30–40 million academic articles through participating public libraries across the UK.

Brand, design, social media and copywriting across print, digital and social media
Access to Research is operated by Publishers’ Licensing Services (PLS) and major academic publishers. The service allows anyone to read academic journal articles and conference papers for free using library computers. Across disciplines including science, engineering, health, social sciences, arts, languages, and more.
Building on the brand identity Sable&Hawkes developed for A2Rs parent publisher, PLS,  the project brings the A2R sub-brand more clearly into the wider PLS family of brands.

New leaflets, flyers and promotional posters formed part of the initial delivery, supported by online templates for use in participating libraries, social media and online graphics. The full suite was delivered in both English and Welsh.

Aside from the stated committment to provide access to knowledge, A2R is committed to helping support awareness and promotion of the service in public libraries.
