Influencer & Creator Marketing Market: Barmer launches 'Dimmo' social campaign against bedtime screentime
German statutory health insurer Barmer has launched a social-first campaign called “Dimmo” to discourage evening smartphone scrolling and promote better sleep. Created with creative agency BBDO and social agency STAN, the campaign stars content creator Jeannie Wagner, who discusses her own sleep-and-scroll habits in a campaign film. Barmer links the creative work to practical offerings — an online sleep seminar, the meditation app 7Mind, a “Sweet Dreams” newsletter and an e‑book — and routes traffic to a dedicated landing page. Campaign assets run across social networks (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube) via paid social, video and display, supported by micro-creators and on-the-ground content formats.
Brand-level social campaign using influencer and social-first tactics; relevant as a creative/activation example but not industry-changing.
