Talking helps: Schwindl Schär encourages people to help themselves

Swiss Self-Help Day takes place on May 21. To mark the occasion, Schwindl Schär has produced three short spots for Selbsthilfe Schweiz that take a fresh approach to the topic of self-help.

Talking helps. That is the slogan of Self-Help Switzerland, the national coordination office for the regional self-help centers. This is the motto of the Swiss Self-Help Day on May 21, with activities in twelve cities and a gala event in Olten.

The Basel advertising agency Schwindl Schär has staged the topic of self-help in three different short commercials. All three spots rely on symbolic images: The cloud above the head dissolves as soon as the affected person enters into conversation with others, the spiral instead of the face disappears in the dialogue.

The films are realized in a very straightforward icon style in the signal colors of Selbsthilfe Schweiz. Three motifs were each produced in three languages and are broadcast on e-boards and e-panels at train stations, in buses and streetcars in various cities in German-speaking and French-speaking Switzerland. In addition, they can be seen on the Internet as Facebook and Google Ads.
