As an expert in the insurance of biometric risks, Die Mobiliar offers solutions tailored to its clientele, the agency writes in a statement. Patrick Tharin, advertising manager at Die Mobiliar Versicherungen und Vorsorge, developed the motto "From experts for experts" for the new campaign. This idea was the inspiration for the implementations that Cosmic Bern conceived for the area of occupational pensions. In it, real specialists take center stage as testimonials, each one a master of a particular domain.

Cosmic Bern designed and realized two expert visuals for the insurance company, a third and a fourth are in progress. For the first two subjects, a Swiss researcher and inventor and an artist were portrayed. The implementations can now be seen on print and online measures as well as in documentary-style short films. The visuals are also used in sponsoring materials and in the design of Mobiliar's stand at the Swiss pension trade fair.

The first three traditional agenda items after the welcome address - approval of the minutes of the 28th Annual General Meeting, the President's annual report and the annual financial statements including the audit report - were quickly ticked off, according to the announcement, with the members voting in favor without dissenting votes. Agenda item 5, the elections, was also a mere formality: the members confirmed the Board members Roger Hausmann, Stephanie Hugentobler, Paul Girard and Barbara Sollberger as well as President Roger Hausmann
unanimously for a further two years in office.

The auditors Anton Neuenschwander and Claudia Scherrer also stood for re-election and were confirmed for a further year. Hélène Apel, who had been particularly committed to the concerns of French-speaking Switzerland on the Board for many years, stepped down from her position at this General Meeting. Her position was not filled.

After the elections, the members set the 2012 annual fee (unchanged) at CHF 520. As no motions had been received prior to the Annual General Meeting, Christoph Fuchs and Roger Hausmann had plenty of time to inform the members about some important developments in 2010.

Good news for the brutal games scene: scientists at Grant MacEwan University have found that regularly playing games about war and combat can reduce the level of suffering and aggression in dreams about war. Or to put it more simply: video games can help soldiers sleep better.

For the study, the soldiers were divided into two groups - "frequent players" and "infrequent players" - and asked about their dreams. The results were clear: the participants assigned to the first group stated that their nightmares about combat were less intense and that they often had the feeling that they could fight against the threats. In the second group, there was more often a feeling of helplessness against an aggressive and violent enemy.

Brutal video games could serve as a kind of threat simulator, according to an explanation by scientist Jayne Gackenbach. This conditions the mind to cope better with intense, dangerous situations in nightmares. According to New Scientist, she can even imagine that the soldiers' frequent video gaming is a kind of self-medication and is more than just a gaming addiction.

Makes sense. Somehow.

Vouchers were distributed in front of the KKL, placed on the toilets and bar tables and attached to the windshields of cars in the underground car park. The voucher deliberately played with the theme of the conference. The inscription "Voucher for creative advertising" was intended to create an impression of value. This was contrasted by the reduced design and simple nature. The question was to be asked: "Valuable or worthless?" and with the binder "find out on www.buerotroxler.ch" followed the call to get a picture of the agency for yourself and find out whether the voucher is of value to you personally and should be redeemed.
