The advertising agency stages "Föfzg" for Swiss Life
The advertising agency launched an opening campaign for the new «50 Luzern» shopping center, which had to demonstrate a great deal of flexibility right from the first week.
The agency has created a world that can be brought to life quickly and without restriction on all communication channels. The house number "50" was made into a signboard. With the addition of "Föfzg. Fifty. Fifty." a communication element is created on which the entire campaign is built, namely the use of dialect, German and English.
"It was very important to us to develop an approachable appearance and to respond to regional characteristics," says Andrea Zanzerl, Senior Brand & Design Strategist at Die Werbekanzlei. "Therefore, the use of Swiss German is an important part of the branding and hopefully provides a wink or two."
The shopping center opened its doors as early as March 26, 2020. However, not quite as planned. Instead of the planned three-day event with various attractions, a quick rethink was necessary due to COVID-19. So the advertising agency, together with Radio Lozärn, set up a live stream concert. The musician Pablo Nouvelle performed live from the "50". The show was broadcast on social media and radio and reached over 15,000 people.
In addition, a branding wall adorned the building's scaffolding until the opening and drew attention to what was to come. Printed gym bags filled with goodies were ready to take away every morning. The bags were sold out every morning within a short time and thus not only the tenants could be presented in a sympathetic way, but also the people could be made happy.
"Creating a connection with the people in Lucerne was an essential factor. Inspiring people with little things, especially in this day and age, is hugely important. Celebrating the little things and identifying with them is our incentive" says Turan Oeznalci, Creative Director.
Within a very short time, a digital campaign was implemented that continues to grow with the products and tenants. A lot of emphasis is placed on social media.
"A modular concept that can be constantly adapted quickly and experienced in both the online and offline world was our aspiration from the very beginning. It is not limited and so there are many play options that are exciting for tenants and customers," says Fabian Meier, Real Estate Asset Manager at Swiss Life.
