Maxomedia implements interactive microsite for Myclimate

The new campaign page from the climate protection foundation Myclimate shows how companies can reduce their CO2 emissions. The idea is the result of a collaboration between Myclimate and Maxomedia.

Myclimate zeigt

Climate protection is still a complex but very important topic, especially in companies. The subject matter is dry and familiarization is time-consuming, although sufficient information is available. Often, the motivating moment is missing, the motivation to deal with climate protection in an interesting way.

The NGO Myclimate therefore looked for another way to draw attention to this issue. Thus, a classic infographic of the Myclimate Foundation was turned into an interactive microsite in cooperation with Maxomedia. With this, it is now possible for the clients of the climate protection foundation to inform themselves in an informal and entertaining way. They learn a lot about the possibilities to protect the climate and thus also offer their own company a real added value. The user experience is intended to strengthen involvement with the target group.

Entrepreneurs are free to choose whether they want to move around freely in the interactive graphic or whether they prefer to take a guided tour.

Goldbach Crossmedia Award 2022: Submit now!

As of Friday, campaigns can once again be submitted for the Goldbach Crossmedia Award. The cross-media campaign that wins over the jury will be announced during the Best of Swiss Web Award Night.

Crossmedia AwardFor this year's Crossmedia Award, Goldbach is looking for campaigns that were published in Switzerland in 2021 and impress with intelligent and innovative networking and media-appropriate implementation. It is not the number of networked media that counts, but their linking in the most meaningful and effective way possible. Representatives of creative and media agencies and advertising clients will then act as an independent jury of experts to evaluate the campaigns submitted.

The Goldbach Crossmedia Award has been presented since 2005. The 2021 Award was presented to Farner Consulting in September (Werbewoche.ch reported). The agency convinced the expert jury with its cross-media campaign "My AUTOgram" for Auto-schweiz.

Award Night 2022 again in spring
The deadline for the Goldbach Crossmedia Award is February 3, 2022. All information on submitting the campaign and the exact conditions of participation are available at the Goldbach Crossmedia Award Website to find.

The best cross-media campaigns will be honored on April 7, 2022, at the Best of Swiss Web Award Night at Samsung Hall.

Jung von Matt Limmat, Gerber and the fondue cuddly toy

You can always get a sudden craving for fondue. For those moments, there’s Gerber Fondue—for spontaneous enjoyment, whether you’re on the go or at home. That’s the core message of the current campaign by Jung von Matt Limmat for Gerber.

Many people know the feeling of suddenly having a craving for fondue. The unconditional urge to put the fondue fork in the caquelon right now. Anyone who has a Gerber fondue at hand in such situations is well advised.

Of bus drivers and crooked shelves

This message is at the heart of Jung von Matt Limmat's current campaign for Gerber. The campaign runs as TVC and online in different lengths in German and French, on display banners and as OOH implementation.

The bus driver, who sometimes interrupts the bus ride for a fondue, father and son, who relaxedly ignore slanted shelves at the sight of the fondue, and a mountaineer, who holds a fondue fork in his hand instead of a pick.

From certainty of success to spontaneity

The current campaign is also the start of Gerber's new positioning. Whereas the focus was previously on the reliability of Gerber fondues, it is now the spontaneity factor that determines the brand communication. Because of the ready-to-use recipe and good shelf life of Gerber fondues, they can be bought in stock and prepared quickly when needed. The campaign around the "Fondue-Glüschtli" is intended to highlight this new positioning.

One in ten Swiss follow a brand on social media

The WEMF’s MA Strategy 2021 interim study shows that nearly one-tenth of the Swiss population is already interested in following brands and companies on social media. The majority of these people are young. Traditional media also continue to reach this target group. In Ticino and French-speaking Switzerland, interest in following brands and companies on social media is above average.

Social MediaMore and more companies are distributing content via social media. The MA Strategy 2021 intermedia study shows that this strategy can work. 9.6 percent of the Swiss population are interested in following brands or companies on social networks. The majority of these people are under 35 years of age and are particularly frequently found in the target group of 14- to 19-year-olds. They are conspicuously often on social media platforms, especially on TikTok, Snapchat, Twitch and Instagram. They also make above-average use of websites with consumer information or online news portals.

But traditional media also reach these young social media-savvy people. For example, they enjoy reading women's and people's press more than average and often listen to private radio stations. It is also typical for this target group that they regularly use public transport. Advertising on streetcars and buses therefore attracts a particularly high level of attention among them.

Language regional differences

An evaluation by language region shows differences. In contrast to the German-speaking Swiss, people from Ticino and French-speaking Switzerland express above-average interest in following brands and companies on social media.


The national intermediate study "MA Strategy 2021" enables systematic analysis and evaluation of media strategies and planning of the optimal media mix. It links sociodemographic information and consumption data with media usage data.

The study now shows data on the use of social media channels and also makes it possible to evaluate consumption characteristics of web offerings. With the identification of the narrower public transport user group of Livesystems, the information on the genre of transport advertising was also expanded. In addition, MA Strategy continues to report data on press, cinema, television, radio, out-of-home, direct mail and address directories.

Gold: Everything there. Always close.

The director shows a lot of patience and tact in the implementation, meticulous preparation and nerves of steel were probably necessary during the shoot. In return, the lead actor easily plays all his acting colleagues against the wall with his precision. It's hard to believe in this day and age that this protagonist is not animated. And once again it was proven that for a perfect movie you need not only good music, but also always a cat.

TBWA\Zurich for Coop: Flo the squirrel is Nevi's new companion

In TBWA\Zürich's current Christmas campaign for Coop, Flo the squirrel joins Nevi the snow monster. The connection between the two is meant to show how important it is to be there for each other.

WeihnachtskampagneLast year's campaign showed that Nevi is finally happy again (Werbewoche.ch reported). That's why the snow monster ensures a white Christmas. In this year's continuation of the Christmas campaign, the snow monster learns through his new roommate, the squirrel Flo, that needs are different and that true friendship requires closeness as well as distance.

With the image film, Coop wants to underline once again that the brand promise "For me and you" is more than just a promise, and also celebrates the magic of being there for each other in this year's campaign.

The film aims to show why closeness is so important, especially during the festive season, and also addresses the question of what really makes a home. A theme that is also reflected in the specially composed soundtrack "Home", which was interpreted by Mark Kelly.

The spot is a mix of live action scenes shot in Switzerland and CGI. The character design of snow monster Nevi and his new roommate Flo was developed by Michael Kutsche, who otherwise works for Tim Burton and other Hollywood greats.

In addition to the TVC, the story is also available as an audio book - but from a different perspective. In a prequel, the story of the new protagonist Flo is told, and how it came to the encounter with Nevi in the first place.

The campaign will be launched on Thursday throughout Switzerland in three languages, including online and TV spots, cinema, print, OOH and DOOH measures, and POS implementations.
