Sponsorship & Brand Integration (Advertorial) Market: Digitec Galaxus: A Partly Fictional Company Short Film
For its 25th anniversary Digitec Galaxus released a 15-minute short film titled “Unfiltered” that retells the company’s founding story while deliberately fictionalizing events. The film premiered at a company party in Zurich and was subsequently published on YouTube. It was written and directed by Jelena Vujovic and stars Jonathan Fiebig and Joël Schnabel in the roles of founders Florian Teuteberg and Oliver Herren; about 30 Digitec employees appear as extras. The article notes factual anchors — Digitec was founded in 2001 by Teuteberg, Oliver Herren and Marcel Dobler; Migros acquired a 30% stake in 2012 and later exercised an option to take 70% in 2015 — but emphasizes that parts of the film (including the ending) are fictionalized.
A corporate-branded short film is primarily a marketing/PR action by a major Swiss retailer; relevant to brand and communications professionals but has limited impact on the broader AdTech/MarTech infrastructure or ad ecosystem.
