Creating Breakthrough
Cultural Moments

LIKE ICE IN THE
SUNSHINE

LANGNESE X NICO SANTOS

We connected an iconic brand with a whole new generation of consumers through a reinterpretation of the classic brand song "Like Ice In The Sunshine." Nico Santos breathed new life into a cult classic and brought joy with live performances and a TikTok challenge.

BLINDING LIGHTS

MERCEDES-BENZ X THE WEEKND

To activate the launch of the first all-electric SUV, we created a pop culture moment that marked a historic milestone for the brand. The Weeknd not only served as creative director and testimonial for the campaign, but also composed a custom song that captured the new electric joy of driving - and became the most streamed song of the year.

FEED DEN VIBE

GANGSTARELLA X CAPITAL BRA

We created the first food love brand of the German rap community and brought hip-hop culture to supermarkets. Together with the biggest artists on the scene, Gangstarella brings flavor explosions to the plates of pizza lovers and shakes up an entire market segment - with over 10 million pizzas sold in less than three years.

ROCK YOUR LOOK

DEICHMANN X ELLIE GOULDING

An exclusive shoe collection featuring Ellie Goulding that combines international star appeal with a down-to-earth attitude. With a captivating music video that showcases the exclusive shoes in a glamorous yet rocking way, and an effective PR event, demand for the collection crashed the Deichmann webshop.

TELEKOM X BADMÓMZJAY

Iconic rap idol Badmómzjay, who constantly breaks industry clichés, raises awareness of the "Telekom Young" tariffs and dispels the preconception that their products are expensive. We activated the campaign through effective fan targeting and exclusive UMG YouTube inventory that reaches the young hip-hop audience exactly where they are.

GEROLSTEINER X UMG ARTISTS

Gerolsteiner wanted to emotionally position the new longneck lemonade as a social drink for a young target group. After sitting at home alone for two years, we celebrated our reunion and launched the Gerolsteiner "Better with You" tour. We presented talents from major cities, gave the live audience an unforgettable evening and all those at home gripping content. Cheers to us!
