The Geneva law firm Jacquemoud Stanislas welcomed an additional partner in 2021. In the context of this change, Schneiterpartner was asked to redevelop and sharpen the brand identity.

By means of individual discussions and roundtables, the foundations for the development of the new brand identity were worked out in a short time together with Jacquemoud Stanislas and the local sparring partner Apropos. On this basis, Schneiterpartner developed a simple, precise brand strategy, which is now always consulted as a guideline and clock generator for the corporate design as well as all other entrepreneurial actions.
The brand promise "Relevant Friendship" is intended to capture the character, essence and personal approach of the law firm. The brand promise is also stylistically transferred into the logo and thus also appears subtly and precisely in all design applications, from color to imagery.
The range of implementations based on this extends from the letterheads to various legal working instruments, documentation and newsletters, to the new website. In the online media, the smiley - built over the first letters of the two founders - is animated. The slight playfulness of the brand addition, combined with the strictly formal word mark, is intended on the one hand to reflect an unmistakable, characteristic profile, and on the other hand to bring a simpler and more informal approach to the sometimes very formal legal landscape.
Further communicative measures and content are currently being developed and published in partnership after the go-live in spring 2021.

If you're looking for a change of pace after all those months in the home office and the same old view from the window, you'll find it in a new campaign by Lowa and Gore-Tex. The two outdoor brands are inviting people to the #TinyOffice in three locations in Switzerland, Germany and Austria - far away from the city, in the midst of sometimes breathtaking natural landscapes. In the campaign conceived and implemented by Zimmermann Communications, the three "Tiny Offices" are up for grabs for a short time. From here, it's straight from after-work to summit storming, forest bathing or trail running.
Each #TinyOffice to be won is equipped with everything it takes to work away from it all. Fast internet, fine coffee and office essentials included. Plus, the winners will be outfitted with waterproof and breathable Lowa/Gore-Tex gear. On the one hand for the way to the office, on the other hand for the time "Out of Office", when the surroundings of the #TinyOffices want to be explored.
The TinyOffice in Switzerland is located in the Cube Aletsch, a cabin at 2,869 meters above sea level in the middle of the mountain landscape of the UNESCO World Heritage Jungfrau-Aletsch.
At Cabinski in Montafon, Austria, you work in a minimalist, comfortable and smart cabin overlooking meadows, forests and green mountain peaks.
The #TinyOffice in Germany is located in a forest. The tree houses in the north of Germany, just a short hike from the North Sea, are big enough for luxury and small enough for individuality.
For the campaign, which will be used in the DACH region, one influencer or brand ambassador was used per country. Kathrin Heckmann @fraeulein.draussen for Germany, Roman Rohrmoser @rohrmoserroman for Austria and in Switzerland with Joni Hedinger @jonihedinger.
The campaign is based on a main film that promotes the promotion as a whole. Three individual films act as amplifiers for the individual markets. The three influencers have produced their own extensive content for each location, which they play out to their target groups together with the main film.
The campaign is being promoted online and via the influencers' social media channels, as well as via the various channels of Lowa and Gore-Tex. Retail partners such as Intersport, Zuberbühler, Schuhhaus Walder and Schöffel are supporting the campaign at the POS. All advertising measures lead to the landing pages of the three countries Lowa.ch, Lowa.de and Lowa.at.

Sometimes you have to go away first to appreciate what you have at home. Perhaps that's one of the reasons why traveling is so popular with the Swiss. When you travel, you always leave something familiar behind in order to get to know something new - a new country, a new language, a new culture.
From this insight, Thjnk Zurich developed the new brand identity for Edelweiss. At a time when people's wanderlust has increased significantly due to major individual restrictions, the new mechanic "Leave. Love." should inspire people to dream.
"Edelweiss has been consistently pursuing a premium leisure approach for a few years now," says Yves Rückert, Head of Brand Management and Marketing Communications at Edelweiss. "With us, guests discover the most beautiful sides of the world, and the Grandezza images impressively underscore this promise."
The current campaign can be seen in ten different advertising formats, from billboards at Zurich Airport, print and social media channels to commercial breaks on TV and in open-air cinemas.
Responsible at Edelweiss: Bernd Bauer (Chief Executive Officer), Patrick Heymann (Chief Commercial Officer), Yves Rückert (Head of Brand Management and Marketing Communications ) Monika Blaser (Marketing Communications). Responsible at Thjnk Zurich: Alexander Jaggy, Pablo Schencke (GF Creation), Tom Zürcher (Text), Michael Rottmann (Art Direction), Gianluca Spezzacatena (Polygraphy), Andrea Bison (GF Consulting), Marie Vuilleumier, Angela Cristofari (Consulting), Gordon Nemitz (GF Strategy).

Video tool from Wirz edits and adapts advertising media live
Wirz has developed a dynamic video tool. The tool makes it easy to create video ads quickly and efficiently and to edit individual elements in real time—without having to manually edit the ad. M-Budget Mobile is already benefiting from it.

The Dynamic Video Tool, as it is officially called, is programmed once and can then be easily customized based on specific needs: Info such as price disruptors, headlines and call-to-actions can be changed live as often as needed without having to rebuild the entire video spot. In this way, the tool works flexibly and cost-effectively. It is already in use with customers.
Video ads for sales
At M-Budget Mobile, for example, promos for the various subscriptions are implemented at high frequency. These sales measures always tend to have a similar message. In addition to online display advertising, the goal was to develop an efficient solution for the dynamic processing of video ads that could be applied to all M-Budget Mobile promos.
Automation
The Dynamic Video Tool from Wirz takes care of everything that needs to be produced repetitively and quickly. Various elements such as text, font size and color, logos, images and sound can be changed. The result is animated video advertising with all the trimmings. With one exception: the creation and planning of the advertising medium in question. This still requires human thinking skills.

The function is available to influencers, musicians, journalists and sports experts, for example. Subscriptions are expected to cost between three and ten dollars per month.
Twitter is initially offering the new "Super Follows" function in the USA and Canada. The offer is to be extended to other countries in the coming weeks. The U.S. company will initially collect three percent of subscription revenues as a fee. Above a threshold of 50,000 dollars, the share increases to 20 percent.
The short message service is currently looking for new ways to tap into new sources of revenue without running additional advertising. In Canada and Australia, the U.S. company introduced the "Twitter Blue" service in June, which offers users additional functions in return for payment. (SDA)

The online portal MyCamper rents out motorhomes and camping vehicles from private individuals to private tenants - similar to the principle of Airbnb. Almost 2000 vehicles are now offered via the portal. "Primarily, we pursued the goal of increasing awareness of the MyCamper brand. The focus was on addressing both potential renters and camper owners with one message at the same time," explains Lars Kienle, project manager at Neum.
Moving and still ads are broadcast at around fifty locations in Zurich. "The ads pick up on real, existing vehicle offers from MyCamper and flank them in a witty and tongue-in-cheek way," explains Joël Wyss, concept manager at Neum.
The original idea for the tonality of the ads was provided by the customer himself. In this respect, the campaign not only fits the target group, but also the culture of the MyCamper brand, which is characterized by startup spirit. "The subjects are ideal for a DOOH campaign: funny, meaningful and very aesthetic," says Justine Lacroix, who was involved in the project on behalf of MyCamper.

Neuchâtel wants to restrict billboard advertising
The Neuchâtel Cantonal Parliament wants to ban sexist advertising and advertising for small loans in public spaces. On Wednesday, it approved two motions to that effect.

Example from 2012: Villiger's poster "Abwechslung macht Freude" ("Variety is fun") caused red faces in many places - at the time, the Swiss Fairness Commission had approved a complaint about an "unmistakable sexual reference".
Neuchâtel would be the third canton, after Basel-City and Vaud, to introduce a ban on sexist advertising in public spaces. The cantonal government showed readiness to accept the proposal of the SP and the parliamentary group of the Greens and POP. A ban on sexist advertising is one among other measures on the way to equality, said SP government councilor Florence Nater.
The FDP and SVP in particular opposed the proposal. Patricia Borloz expressed fears on behalf of the Free Democrats that such advertising restrictions could lead in the direction of censorship. "Will we also get an advertising ban on red meat at some point?" she asked.
For the SVP, the motion opens the door to lawsuits of all kinds. An advertisement could be offensive to some, while others would not find it so, said Estelle Matthey-Junod.
A second motion of the Left Party, which is intended to counteract indebtedness, was also approved. The motion calls for the municipalities to ensure that small loans can no longer be advertised on billboards in public spaces. The government was also in favor of this motion. (SDA/swi)
The Circle Convention is one of the largest event centers in Switzerland
The Circle Convention Center, managed by Hyatt and located in the new district at Zurich Airport, opened this spring and is ideal for large events and meetings as well as galas, trade shows, and product launches.

The Convention Hall at The Circle.
The Circle Convention Center comprises over 2,800 square meters of flexible meeting and event space and has direct access to the Hyatt Regency Zurich Airport The Circle. With the opening of The Circle Convention Center, Zurich Airport aims to further strengthen its function as a place for meetings and exchanges.
The Convention Hall, with an area of around 1,500 square meters and a ceiling height of 13 meters, can be divided into three parts of around 500 square meters each. The sloping walls give the hall a futuristic flair and the natural daylight that streams down through the glass roof creates a special atmosphere for events.
In addition to the Convention Hall, The Circle Convention Center offers 17 event rooms with areas ranging from 30 to 290 square meters. All have plenty of natural light and a wonderful view of the park, the main square and the alleyways of the Circle or Zurich Airport through floor-to-ceiling windows. All rooms are equipped with the latest technology. The adjoining Hyatt Recency Zurich Airport The Circle also offers catering options for up to 2,500 people.
Streaming from the Convention Center
In addition to meeting rooms, the Convention Center also offers a virtual TV studio equipped with the latest technologies. The studio is technically provided and managed by Encore Global. Both online and hybrid events are possible. The offer is particularly suitable for companies that have switched to virtual or hybrid due to the pandemic.
Sustainable and energy-saving
The Minergie-certified Circle building stands for a dense construction method. A usable area of 180,000 square meters was created on an area of just over 30,000 square meters. Heating and cooling are supplied via energy piles using the earth as a reservoir, and the demand for energy and water is greatly reduced through recovery. Another natural source of energy is the photovoltaic system on the roofs of the buildings.
