Since the start of the year, Switzerland's oldest brewery has been working on its latest and potentially most unusual beer. Schützengarten transforms the real ice from the hockey rink of the SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers into a special beer limited to 500 liters. Developed for the Lakers by global advertising agency Wunderman Thompson Switzerland, this idea hopes to give fans, who were not allowed into the stadium this season, something very special. Last week, Coors also released a beer with water from a hockey field, only a few days after the Tampa Bay Lightning won the Stanley Cup on the very same ice. The fact that the same idea was quickly implemented has been easily accepted in Switzerland. Swen Morath, Chief Creative Officer at Wunderman Thompson Switzerland said: “Coors produced in lightning speed. After all, a beer brewed in just a few days can only be a light beer. But as Swiss, we are committed to premium quality.” Kurt Moor, Member of the Board Brauerei Schützengarten, said: "To brew a first-class premium beer in terms of taste, you need one thing in addition to the best ingredients: a lot of time. Nothing works under four weeks." The Lakers made it to the semifinals of the Swiss Hockey League, which in normal times has the most spectators in Europe. Markus Bütler, Manager SC RJ Lakers said: "At every game, we would have been ready to scrape the ice right after. But of course, we enjoyed every win." Nevertheless, the ice machine scraped the ice field immediately after the team was eliminated from the playoff semifinals in April. The resulting water was filtered several times by the Swiss water purification company evodrop and closely inspected by the cantonal food inspectorate. After the government approved the water quality on July 12, brewing finally began today, so that the Schützengarten beer in red ale style will be ready on schedule for the start of the 2021/2022 season. Because they value quality over speed, Schützengarten asked Coors and Lightning via social media and an open letter to do a beer tasting. Once the Schützengarten beer is brewed, they plan to taste each other's beers together. The event will be conducted by a beer tasting specialist and livestreamed. May the best beer from an ice hockey field win. Because quality trumps speed.

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.

In Switzerland, about 20% of the population suffers from hay fever between January and August. During that season people try to avoid the outdoors, where they think they will encounter pollen. But the truth is, pollen spreads widely indoors too. To raise awareness about pollen’s indoor effects, Publicis Switzerland has run an unconventional advertising campaign for the pharmaceutical company Sanofi and their allergy products. The Pollen Lamps were displayed in different places to illustrate pollen dispersal. People not only know what pollen looks like now, they can even hang it proudly at home.
