Fresh’N’Friends: Fruit Figures

All adults know: healthy eating is important. The organic supermarket chain Fresh`N´Friends benefits from that situation. There is just one small problem: kids hate healthy food but they love sweets. And worst of all: kids won´t listen to logical arguments. Therefore, our task was to convince the kids without lecturing them. Instead of calling attention to that problem with a traditional ad campaign we chose to solve the problem. The solution was a new product: fruit figures. To make fruits as appealing as sweets for kids we designed fruit arrangements that suit children. Boring fruits were designed in shape of teddy bears, kittens, flowers – all the things kids love. Just like ordinary fruit salads the fruit figures were sealed, put in a tray and sold in Fresh´N´Friends stores. And to open the design process for those who should really be involved, we let the kids design their own fruit figures. Over 3,500 designs from children were submitted. The rabbit figure of five-year-old Dario got the most votes and was therefore added to the product range.

Absolut Vodka: Absolut Unique

The idea was to make four million unique bottles, so that each and every bottle becomes a limited edition in itself.But how do you do that? We had to rebuild the production line and use every possible aspect of glass decoration in a new and randomized,but controlled, way. We defined colors,coatings,patterns, and paint methods and then waited to see what the machines would create. Every bottle is numbered (1-4,000,000) and the numbers are mixed before the cases are sent out to the world. In most markets ,bottles are sold at the regular price for a bottle of Absolut.

Raum D Studio for People With Dementia: Vivid Memories

To generate awareness for Raum D, a therapeutic studio for suffers of dementia, we decided to trace the life story of a theoretical Alzheimer’s patient. We created a 3D model of a brain, capturing its full diversity with extreme attention to detail. By doing so we made this person’s memories once more accessible. We toured this exhibition, which incl. 4 ‘panels’ representing personal and historical milestones in a person’s life, in major cities along the Rhine and Ruhr rivers. Person’s with Alzheimer’s have no hope, as of yet, of a cure. As their disease progresses, they often become increasingly confused and isolated. Raum D is a therapeutic studio for people with dementia. Here, creative work offers patients new ways of dealing with their memories.

Kentera: Constipation, Dry Mouth

The current status quo is that healthcare professionals are using the best available treatments to alleviate their patient’s urinary incontinence. But what they are also doing is turning a blind eye to the unpleasant side effects they are in effect prescribing to their patients. This campaign dramatises the intolerable side effects of oral treatments for overactive bladder (OAB). It was designed to jolt healthcare professionals into realising Kentera is a real alternative and they can do something different for their patients. By exposing the flaws of the competition this campaign has made doctors think about the benefits of choosing Kentera.
