Evoq spills the beans for Ringier Print

To mark the launch of the Obwalden Nidwalden Zeitung (ONZ), Evoq developed special advertisements for Ringier Print that convey the production partner’s congratulations with a touch of humor.

The newspaper's strong local connection was taken up and implemented in the style of the current advertising and poster campaign. It is no coincidence that the creative team at Evoq can tell numerous stories from the sewing box of Central Switzerland. After all, the roots of one of the two managing directors also lie in the heart of Switzerland.
Further subjects will follow in the next issues of ONZ.

Last but not least: Now it's all blown over

When recreational skiers rave to their friends about how fast they carve down the slopes, they can now back it up with a «video of proof.».

On the Riesneralm in the Austrian vacation region of Schladming-Dachstein, skiers are automatically filmed on a race course marked out with gates. The video, including a time display, can then be called up using the ski pass number and immediately sent to friends, relatives and acquaintances via cell phone, YouTube or Facebook. The whole thing is called "Ski Movie" and seems to be a real hit. Whether women or men, young or experienced skiers - the crowds are huge, says Erwin Petz, Managing Director of Bergbahnen Riesneralm. Some tourists even come by just to see the film. And of course, the guests are also providing free advertising for the Austrian ski resort by sending their films all over the world. Social media marketing is alive and well - and Mr. Petz seems to have understood this.
