Do you remember the last time you were engaged in politics? … exactly! That’s why we started at the beginning of 2010 an uncommon campaign for Zurich’s Social Democrats.

Have a look at the whole project here!

The IKEA catalogue 2011 did not arrive alone in Germany but was accompanied by a group of swedish designers, whose task it was to give one hundred German homes a free makeover. A massive campaign on TV, Print and Web invited people to contest for one of the makeovers of their kitchen, livingroom, bedroom, hall or whatever room they thought needed improvement.

The next AD doesn’t need the cliché of Sombreos, Mustaches and Ponchos. Let’s face it: it’s a burger with beef and cheese and jalapenos and Mexico sauce and that’s what’s up.

TV AS IT SHOULD BE

After winning the SKY pitch with Munich based advertising agency Heye, the main task was to launch the pay-tv brand in germany. Working with Heye and the time in London with photographer Rankin and director James Rouse was a great experience. Some results:

# 1. BRAND TEASER - 4 Pager in German newspapers the weekend before launch.

Brain headline: TV makes stupid. Rubber copy: Is that really necessary?

Clock headline: Zapp, Zapp, Zapp, Zapp… TV is a waste of time. Heart headline: We love animals. We love food. We love cars. Why don’t we love TV? Commercial break!

Headline: Time for TV that goes straight into your heart. Logo/Claim: Sky - TV as it should be.
