Biovision in Switzerland is a movement focused on protecting biodiversity. Their latest advertising campaign is focused on the concept of every species being good at something. The blobfish is a survival artist, the aye aye has excellent hearing and the star-mosed mole has highly-developed tactile sensors. But the habitats of these unique animals are in danger! Important areas of refuge in Africa for rare plant and animal species are threatened by overexploitation, such as the Kakamega Forest, the last major rainforest in Kenya. Biovision protects biodiversity through projects for people and nature: Everyone is Good at Something.

Disabled mannequins were eliciting astonished looks from passers-by on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse. Between the perfect mannequins, there were figures with scoliosis or brittle bone disease modelling the latest fashions. One had shortened limbs; the other a malformed spine. The campaign has been devised for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities by Pro Infirmis, an organisation for the disabled. Entitled "Because who is perfect? Get closer.", it is designed to provoke reflection on the acceptance of people with disabilities. Director Alain Gsponer has captured the campaign as a short film.

The online retailer’s first Christmas spot focuses on bad feelings instead of big feelings. It all happens in a deserted scientific base somewhere way up north: a bad-tempered couple of scientists is handing out presents when the lack of gift inspiration almost causes a scandal. The last TV spot of the movie trilogy „Brack Expedition“ has been shot in Sweden by the Oscar nominated director Patrik Eklund. It can be seen as a 25 second cut down across Switzerland and as a 58 second directors cut on wide-coverage TV stations. Different On- and Offline activities amplify the Brack.ch Christmas campaign.

Based in Switzerland, big oil traders like Trafigura blend cheap fuel with sulfur levels hundred times over European limits. They sell the "dirty diesel" in African countries where the weakness of local fuel standards can be exploited. The Swiss NGO Public Eye published a 160-page report about the dirty business. In order to expose this practice and to push Trafigura to change it, the NGO had to act and to present the findings to a larger public. Return to Sender: We sent the dirty air back to the responsible company. To show the shocking health impacts dirty diesel has on the African population, Public Eye asked us to do a unique campaign. With the help of activists in Accra, Ghana, we shot a short film showing local people capturing the polluted air into canisters and return it to the sender. As a reaction to the dirty business of Trafigura: We sent the air in a shipping container back to the commodities giant. With the campaign, we wanted to create public pressure through the mass media and then through the people, in order to get the involved companies to change their behavior. A multichannel campaign with a petition to stop Trafigura. The campaign was implement in 3 phases: In phase one, the audience was shown a teaser film with local people capturing the polluted air into canisters and return it to the sender. In phase 2, the journey of the dirty air to Switzerland started and was a public event. Users could follow the cargo ship in real time on the website returntosender.ch, including precise geolocation of the container ship, weather data and progression. It led to a petition demanding Trafigura to stop their dirty business and focus on their goal of becoming market leader in social responsibility. The hook of Phase 3 was the delivery of the dirty air to the sender. Ghana toughens its sulfur standards in March 2017. The petition was signed by almost 20´000 people. Accompanied by the press, the signed canisters and the petition were handed over to Trafigura at their headquarters in Geneva. Public pressure caused by our campaign moved the government of Ghana to toughen its national sulfur standard by a factor of 60 in March 2017. Other West African countries will follow.

Often, the results are far from reality – and lead followers to strive for unrealistic beauty standards.

This is why Davos Klosters invites the viewers for a run in the mountains.

Covid-19 prevented sports fans around the world from attending their favourite teams’ matches, and in March 2020 the Swiss government banned fans from going to sports events in response to the pandemic. Consequently, more than 4,000 fans of Zurich’s ZSC Lions ice hockey team held season tickets for games they could no longer see live. As is the case for many sports clubs, season-ticket sales form an integral part of the ZSC Lions’ funding. The “Essence of Lions” giftpack inspired fans to renew their tickets for the next season. And although the small bottles were intended as a collectible memento, that didn’t stop the club inventing a host of fantastical uses for the water they contained, from baptising baby ZSC Lions fans to reviving dead house plants, cleansing rooms of evil spirits, and polishing trophies.

On February 9th 2014, 50.3% of the Swiss voters expressed their desire to limit and regulate the so called 'mass immigration'. This decision attempts to abolish the bilateral agreements, established in 1999 between Switzerland and the EU, which lead to the opening of the borders and defined the rules for free movement of persons and workers. In the eyes of Europe and of the entire world, this extreme, narrow-minded and hard decision darkens and blurs the idea of an international, open-minded and Human Rights promoting Switzerland. The Other Half is the 49.7 percent who are now ashamed of their country and who wish it to be known for its openness, generosity and creativity. Because creativity gives birth to new ideas, new schemes and new solutions.
