Origin, production and product are shown, or in other words: roots, savoir-faire and character. Wapico has made a film for each of these three elements. Together, they appear as three vertical strips that fit next to each other to form a whole. In print, this trio is used horizontally for technical reasons. In addition to the advertisements, all product sheets and other printed matter are currently being revised. The films were shown for the first time at this year's Swiss Wrestling and Alpine Festival in Frauenfeld. A national television broadcast is also planned, as commercials in 2011.
AOC (Appellation d'origine contrôlée or Protected Designation of Origin) and IGP (Indication géographique protégée or Protected Geographical Indication) are quality labels that are protected by Swiss law. They are foodstuffs that are strongly anchored in their "terroir", i.e. locally restricted and produced according to strict guidelines and regulations. Examples include Gruyère AOC, Vacherin Mont d'Or AOC or Sbrinz AOC, as well as Cardon épineux from Geneva or bratwurst from St. Gallen.
Responsible at the Swiss Association AOC-IGP: Alain Farine (Managing Director), Ramona Cattaneo (Communications). Responsible at Wapico: René Walker (CD), Olaf Pilleri (consultant). Film and production: Peter Guyer from Rec TV (Bern). Photography: Charlotte Walker (Fribourg).

The strategic basis for this communicative realignment is the positioning "Taking the excitement out of banking", which was developed over several months together with the bank and some of its clients. Especially in the current climate, Hyposwiss Private Bank feels more encouraged than ever to actively promote its "conservative approach", Siegfried R. Peyer, CEO of Hyposwiss Private Bank Zurich, was quoted as saying in a press release. According to Declan McAdams, General Manager Hyposwiss Private Bank Geneva, the financial institution wants to offer its clients long-term solutions that focus on security. When it comes to money, the bank does not want any surprises. New advertisements will be placed several times a week in the NZZ, Le Temps and other key media. These will each address different aspects of the private bank's approach and services in a simple and direct manner.

Last but not least: Harry Potter performs magic for Magic X
Warner Bros. is quick to react when someone tries to capitalize on the success of the blockbuster «Harry Potter.» Recently, the film studio tried to block a Bollywood movie titled «Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors»—but to no avail. Now, a lawsuit has been filed against Magic X. The reason: The Swiss adult novelty chain sells condoms under the name «Harry Popper.».

Admittedly, there are other parallels besides the name: The pink sipped condom depicted on the packaging wears nickel glasses and waves a magic wand in its hand. However, it is doubtful whether there is any real risk of confusion. The Schwyz cantonal court will decide in the coming days. The question is, however, whether Warner Bros' fight is not in vain. After all, half the porn film industry would have to be sued. There are plenty of funny imitations of blockbuster titles: "Lord of the Strings" and "Strip Slowly" are just two creative outpourings.

Muffin is also on the road as a milk supplier on behalf of freshness. The new companion is a bit dreamy and likes to get distracted. As in the first spot, computer animation was not used in Part II and the actors had to do everything themselves. Before the filming, Chicken Chocolate practiced for a month with animal trainer Zimek. The film was directed by 'The Vikings'. They already shot the first chicken episode and other Migrosspots. The return of the chicken' was promoted with an Internet teaser film and Facebook teaser ads. The community was able to enjoy an exclusive preview. The chicken was also featured in the latest issue of Schweizer Illustrierte. In a classic home story, the freshness star is seen in private in a bubble bath and is given insights into the celebrity chicken's life.
