The PR Factory for the police: More security for online shopping
Online shopping is popular, but not without danger. Because paying with debit or credit card also calls fraudsters on the scene. That's why The PR Factory is launching a nationwide prevention campaign on card security for the police with #ufpasse.

Online shopping has become much more popular since Corona. In addition to credit cards, debit cards can now increasingly be used for this purpose. For this reason in particular, it is important that cardholders are made aware of what it means to use credit cards safely online.
The PR Factory developed a new campaign for the police as part of Card Security with #ufpasse. "The big challenge was the very heterogeneous target group. We are talking more or less about the entire population here. Almost everyone owns a debit or credit card," says Andrea Miolo-Eberhard, agency manager at The PR Factory.
Common mistakes made when using the card
The campaign focuses on the six most common mistakes made when using payment cards - across all age groups and genders. "These examples are used to highlight what should be avoided when shopping online to avoid becoming a victim of card fraud," Miolo-Eberhard said.
Online and on site
The campaign was launched on Monday and will be seen throughout Switzerland on social media and on various national online media until the end of November 2021. "It's important that the campaign takes place where the crimes happen - on the net, while shopping online," said Miolo-Eberhard "That's where we reach our target group best."
At the same time, however, the police are also raising awareness of the issue directly among the population with posters, flyers, social media posts and stand campaigns. This personal contact is intended to increase the impact and deepen the topic.

31-year-old Sabrina Pantic and 39-year-old Olivier Carré are the new dual heads of Webrepublic's SEA unit. The reason for the expansion of the management is the constantly growing, international customer portfolio of the agency as well as the rapidly changing market, as Webrepulic writes in a communiqué.
Both co-heads have been with the Zurich-based agency for seven years: German-Swiss Sabrina Pantic has already held the role of Head of SEA since 2019 and continues to be responsible for the five teams in the DACH region. "It was an exciting task to lead the unit alone for the last two years. But now I am even more excited about the new setup. The dual leadership will allow us to devote more resources to strategy, development and innovation and thus take our clients' projects further," Pantic is quoted as saying in the statement.
Olivier Carré, who comes from France, previously contributed his know-how as Team Lead of the French-speaking SEA team. As Co-Head, he now looks after the three teams that contribute their expertise to international campaigns. "The lineup allows us to further develop our international offering outside of the German-speaking markets," Carré said in the release.
Rocket turns science into an experience for ZHAW Health
The Lucerne agency Rocket has realized a multimedia online research report on the focus of aging for the ZHAW Health.

25 October 2021
The Research Report on the focus of aging is a premiere for ZHAW Health. For the first time, a research report is being published not in the classic PDF format or as a print version, but as a website. The report focuses on the question "How can we age healthily?" - a topical one for all people.
Research reports are hardly bedtime reading outside the scientific community. They often have a boring, dusty image. But there is another way, as Mathias Schürmann, Managing Partner of Rocket, points out: "An online research report uses all the advantages of an online publication. Complex processes can be illustrated with an explanatory video, for example, and texts can be emotionalized with sound files."
In terms of content preparation, the website solution beats the digital PDF version in many areas. Probably the greatest strength of the website, however, remains its distribution. In addition to the research report as a unit, the individual thematic articles can also be optimized with specific metadata. The researching readership finds the research report quickly and efficiently via search engines. And potentially interested parties are also reached via active distribution with newsletters, backlinks and social media.

Although the pharmaceutical industry enjoys a good reputation in Switzerland and the population here is aware of its economic importance, it is still sometimes perceived as faceless and calculating. The fact that it is people, and not nameless robots, who research day and night to defeat diseases with new drugs and therapies is often forgotten.
The campaign now aims to put the spotlight on precisely these people. In a total of 14 subjects, researchers are photographed in their natural, usually less glamorous working environment. The images - deliberately photographed in documentary style by Jörg Koopmann - take an unvarnished look behind the scenes of the research-based pharmaceutical industry. Statements illustrating how much time and work goes into the research and development of new drugs add an emotional dimension to the photos.
The campaign can be seen on billboards and public transport screens throughout Switzerland. In addition, there is a Micrositewhich deals in depth with the topics addressed on the posters. The campaign is flanked by social media posts and various measures to involve employees.

Klara Business is a company of the Axon Group and Swiss Post, which has held the majority of shares for a year. The company supports SMEs as well as private households in digitizing and simplifying administrative tasks.
The focus of the current Klara campaign is the registration of the 30,000th SME customer. CEO Renato Stalder has announced in advance that he will personally send the customer on a week-long wellness vacation. Because Klara customers save time on accounting and administration, and can use it for their core business - or simply for themselves.
Surprise in Agasul
In the commercial, which has been online since Wednesday, everything revolves around the search for the 30,000th SME customer. Finally, viewers see Renato Stalder and his entourage drive all the way to Agasul to surprise the winner. Meanwhile, the winner is struggling with leaking engine oil and a work-shy office assistant.
The spot narrates the event with a good dose of self-irony, but is also intended to underscore Klara's typical closeness to its own customers. So for CEO Stalder, the visit to the film set was a dress rehearsal. "Of course, I will also visit the real winners in person," says Stalder.

Männer.ch and Art.i.schock promote social professions
The goal is to improve gender balance in the social services sector. A new campaign aims to increase the proportion of men in these fields by having ambassadors serve as role models. To this end, the campaign will target men who are potentially interested and suitable for these roles. It was designed and implemented by the Zurich-based agency Art.i.schock.

Men are underrepresented above all in those sectors and areas that work on and with people - i.e. especially in the social professions. At the same time, clients benefit most from balanced and heterogeneous teams. The underrepresentation is problematic from an economic, educational and equality policy perspective, i.e. in terms of a shortage of skilled workers and equal opportunities.
The bilingual campaign "Men into Social Professions." wants to change this and motivate men to enter or switch to social professions. In doing so, men are shown in a way that corresponds to the traditional image. The headlines "strong nerves and contemporary," "energetic and empathetic," and "strong character and versatile" show the range that a man in the social sector covers, from the traditional male attribute to the - apparent - break with it.
For this purpose, the agency was able to recruit ambassadors from a wide range of social professions, of different ages and from different backgrounds to participate. They are on the Website They will make live appearances and appear on Instagram and Facebook. In addition, several information events for interested men are planned at colleges of higher education. According to the agency, great interest among professionals confirms the relevance of the topic.
The campaign is coordinated by the umbrella organization of Swiss men's & fathers' organizations Männer.ch, together with the Fachkonferenz Soziale Arbeit der Fachhochschulen Schweiz SASSA and the Schweizerische Plattform der Ausbildungen im Sozialbereich SPAS. The campaign is supported and evaluated by the Federal Office for Gender Equality. Conception and implementation are by Art.i.schock.

"Nowadays, anyone who buys a lottery ticket wants to know immediately whether or not they will win," Rolf Kunz, Head of Marketing and Distribution at Swisslos, was quoted as saying in a statement on Friday. That's why, in the future, the main prize of one million francs will also be visible immediately after the purchase.
The million draw was a regular feature of "Happy Day" for around eight years. In 1987, a lottery million was drawn live on Swiss television for the first time in the program "Supertreffer. Five years later, the million draw was part of the fixed program on SRF.
Beni Thurnheer chose a total of 103 people as millionaires in "Benissimo. "Happy Day" will award a million for the 47th - and last - time on April 30, 2022.
SRF is sticking with the Saturday night show despite the reorganization of Swisslos. The show "Happy Day" was already extremely successful before the Swisslos integration, Yves Schifferle, Head of Show, is quoted as saying. The proven core remains. "We fulfill hearts' desires and make the impossible possible." (SDA)
