Weber Harbeke causes sexist scandal at home
The advertising agency Weber Harbeke has caused a stir with a poster for the Grand Casino Baden. Although the poster will no longer be put up in public, it will remain a talking point.
The Zurich advertising agency Weber Harbeke has caused an uproar with a poster for the Grand Casino Baden. The Swiss Commission for Fair Trading deemed the poster to be sexist and derogatory (see ). The poster from the "Baden im Glück" campaign shows a young woman in an evening dress rolling on an inflatable dolphin. As this subject has caused unrest and perplexity, the client has now decided to no longer display this image. At least not publicly. Instead, anyone over the age of 18 can now take the controversial poster free of charge from the Grand Casino in Baden. After all, you can put up whatever you like at home without being reprimanded by the Fairness Commission. This campaign is advertised in radio spots featuring the voice of Frank Baumann.
