Publicis and UBS show professional world champion in the wrong profession
Only those who know their strengths can develop to their full potential in professional life; this is the message of the new campaign by UBS and the Swiss Skills Foundation.
Since 2017, UBS has been a partner of the SwissSkills Foundation, promoting vocational training in Switzerland. While last year's campaign featured clueless bankers highlighting the importance of vocational apprenticeships for a well-functioning economy, this year the focus is on the apprentices themselves.
Only those who really know their strengths can choose the right profession and fully develop their potential. The outstanding performance of the SwissSkills team at the WorldSkills 2019 vocational championships in Russia proves that this is the case. The Swiss team brought home a total of 16 medals at the end of August, thus securing third place in the national rankings.
For young people who have not yet recognized their own talents, UBS and SwissSkills offer a so-called strength profile at the SwissSkills Career stand at all major career fairs. After completing a short visual test on a tablet, this provides a detailed evaluation of personal strengths and affinities. A good basis for further career choices.
To promote the commitment and the strength profile, Publicis has once again designed a campaign. Two online spots feature two real professional champions who show that no one is equally good everywhere. Thus, while they excel in their own field, they struggle with other activities.
The campaign ran alongside the World Cup in the summer and will now be played out regionally in the run-up to the career fairs. The online films are flanked by various display and social media ads as well as implementation on UBS's own media.
