The spot was produced in close cooperation with Rosas & Co Films. The director was Charley Stadler, who has not only directed numerous award-winning commercials, but also the 2005 feature film "Dead Fish" with Gary Oldman and Robert Carlyle. Torsten Lippstock, a man with feature film experience, was also at the camera. The well-rehearsed team managed to tell the story in a single take - without editing.
The new Delizio commercial has been on Swiss television and in Swiss advertising windows since this week.
AZ Medien bundles newspaper printing
The media company AZ Medien is closing its newspaper printing facility in Subingen, SO, and will concentrate production at its Aarau facility in the future.
There, the older of the two presses will be decommissioned and a new, 20-million-franc facility will be built. The new newspaper press will start its test operation in August next year and will be fully operational from October 2014, the media company announced on Wednesday. A German product was purchased.
There are only four large printing plants left in Switzerland, he said. With the new press, AZ Medien is now on a par with Tamedia, Ringier and NZZ, said AZ publisher Peter Wanner in an interview with the Aargauer Zeitung. AZ Medien plans to bid for the contracts to print the high-circulation Coop and Migros newspapers next year.
Closure of Subingen SO printing site
The Subingen printing site, which currently employs 35 people, will be closed in 2015. How many employees will be affected by the closure is not yet known and depends on the future capacity utilization of the presses in Aarau. Vogt-Schild Druck in Derendingen SO, where AZ Medien produces its own magazines, is not affected by the reorganization.

Erdmannpeisker: Good morning, Michel
After winning Michel's advertising account in the fall of 2012, Erdmannpeisker has now announced the launch of the new campaign.
With the new appearance Michel wishes everyone a good morning. Michel is the fruit juice for daily consumption, especially for the glass of juice at breakfast. Communication has been focused on this positioning, according to the statement: Michel, the fruit juice for a good start to the day. The new slogan was created on this basis: Good morning, Michel.
Two TV commercials are used as the main advertising media. Vignettes show various people waking up and going about their morning rituals. Some are still slightly sleepy, others still a bit clumsy. Then, after a glass of Michel, everyone is ready for the day. One spot deals with consumption at home, the other with drinking Michel on the road and in the office.
In addition to TV, other media are used. E-boards, e-panels and online media are used with cut-down versions of the spots. Three different motifs were created for posters. Measures at the POS support sales. The campaign started bright and early on September 2, 2013.

Anniversary edition: 40 years of Werbewoche
The special anniversary edition of *Die grosse Werbewoche* celebrating its 40th anniversary is available for download here in PDF format.
We received this wonderful cinematic congratulations - hidden behind a QR code advertisement - from the agency Circle Four from Basel. We were delighted by the many congratulations. And of course the cake from the warm Cake Lady from Wollerau, which ended up on the front page of the anniversary issue without any detours. Now it adorns our editorial offices. Unfortunately, it is not edible, but it is easy to handle and will keep for all eternity (the icing is real and smells accordingly).
The special issue offers a look back at the various layouts of the last 40 years and allows all former editors-in-chief to speak freely. Karl Lüönd and Werbewoche mothball Theophil Butz talk about the past, while the agencies look to the future. Namely Draftfcb/Lowe, Hinderling Volkart, Scholz & Friends, Publicis, Ammarkt, CR Basel, Maxomedia, Infel, Jung von Matt/Limmat, Notch Interactive and Wirz.

Speaking of Wirz: Jost Wirz, the patron of the pioneering agency, tells us in an interview what has changed in the advertising industry over the last 40 years. We brought together the advertiser of the year 1977 (Doris Gisler Truog) and the advertiser of the year 2010 (Regula Fecker) and listened to what they had to say to each other (picture above). We pay a visit to the media cemetery and show how vanished titles once courted advertisers in Advertising Week. And what the advertisements of the media that still exist today looked like.
In an interview, legendary director Ernst Wirz reveals how film technology has changed in the 40 years of Advertising Week. And David Guggenbühl from the Exsider.com marketing institute looks at the development of music consumption. And last but not least, Werbewoche columnist Anne-Friederike Heinrich becomes a poet.

For souvenir photos even an original Delorean, completely in the style of the 80s cinema trilogy "Back to the Future", served as a backdrop.

TBD: A rhyme with the ZVV
«You shall not rhyme» is a copywriting mantra that is strictly followed at many agencies—except at TBD and the ZVV.
In the new radio spots, they do more than just rhyme with typical traffic situations, as the agency writes in a press release. This makes the spots "so weird that they are good again", according to the ZVV itself. You may shake your head at this, but it is undisputed that the commercials literally invite you to rhyme yourself. Which you can do to your heart's content on the ZVV's social media channels.
Responsible at the ZVV: Lukas Tenger (Head of Marketing), Peter Schilde (Head of Advertising). Responsible at TBD: Tom Seinige, Alexander Holtz, Nemi Gajic. Production: Selmi Tonstudio.

Swissinfo.ch will in future be called SWI Swissinfo.ch
The Swiss Broadcasting Corporation (SRG) is introducing the new corporate acronym SWI and the word mark «SWI Swissinfo.ch.» These will now be visually integrated into the SRG’s umbrella brand.
New strategic orientation
The rebranding is linked to the strategic realignment of Swissinfo.ch: In future, its journalistic offering will increasingly be aimed at an international audience. The reorientation is based on a service agreement between the Confederation and the SRG, the latter writes in a press release. The agreement stipulates that the SRG will provide a journalistic service abroad in order to promote links between the Swiss abroad and Switzerland, strengthen Switzerland's presence and at the same time create an understanding of its concerns abroad.
The only ten-language Swiss medium
The user figures clearly speak for the importance of Swissinfo.ch: on average, the international, ten-language platform is accessed by over 1.5 million visitors every month. Last year, the website was visited over 50 million times in total. Swissinfo.ch has more than 500,000 fans on Facebook, making it the most important Swiss medium with an international reach. An average of 734,000 unique clients visit the Swissinfo.ch website each month, and the mobile applications (iPad, iPhone, Android, Windows 8) were downloaded over 130,000 times last year.
