Winterhilfe supports people living on the poverty line in all regions of Switzerland. Over 50,000 people throughout Switzerland receive over CHF 14 million in Winterhilfe benefits every year. The national aid organization relies on donations to finance its work.
The digital fundraising campaign launched last calendar year was created by Studio Thom Pfister and builds on last year's campaigns. 15- and 6-second animations show how you can achieve a lot with very little. The concept is based on the idea that "not everyone can afford health". The concise and easy-to-understand illustration style also characterizes this year's donation campaign. It was launched on July 1, 2024 and is played out via the tried-and-tested channels YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Google. According to figures, impressions have already increased by 12% in just one month since December 2024.

The campaign by Studio Thom Pfister builds on last year's campaign and continues it consistently. 15- and 6-second animations point out that there are people in Switzerland whose wages (despite work) are only enough for half of life. The concept is based on the idea of "in Switzerland there are no half measures" and shows in simple illustrations that these half measures do exist. This year's national campaign will launch on September 5 and will be played out across YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Google. The digital campaign will be flanked by radio spots and TV spots on Léman Bleu and Canal 9.
