Thjnk Zurich takes the Migros place name signs to the next level

Migros is launching the second phase of its successful regional campaign featuring place-name signs. Thjnk Zurich has created over 25 new designs in all national languages, combining real place names such as «Tartar,» «Martigny,» and «Signôra» with matching products from the lineup. Suggestions from tourism associations were also incorporated.

Migros« regionality campaign is entering the next round. After turning place names such as »Au« and »Muhen" into brand messages last year, Thjnk Zurich is continuing the successful concept. The campaign playfully refers to the regional diversity of Migros' product range by combining place names with matching products.

For the second flight, over 25 new subjects were developed in all national languages - including Romansh. Real place name signs such as «Tartar», «Martigny» and «Signôra» were photographed and linked to corresponding products from the Migros range.

Inspired by the population

The first flight of the campaign encouraged people to get involved. Shortly after the launch, the population and Swiss tourism associations created their own subjects and shared them on social media. For the current flight, selected suggestions from tourism associations were taken up and implemented as real subjects.
