Multiple Omnicom units support execution: Omnicom Precision Marketing/TLGG for social, 480Hz for below-the-line, and Mindshare Frankfurt together with VR-NetWorld for media. The campaign uses real customers and employees (no AI-generated faces) across 13 main spots plus additional assets, and features comedian Martina Hill in social films. A bespoke AI tool developed by BBDO Hamburg and Machine13 allows over 600 local branches to quickly generate brand-compliant local assets.

Twentyrising Debuts 'Oberhammer Oberbayern' Music Video for Sparda-Bank Munich

German agency Twentyrising has unveiled its debut campaign for Sparda-Bank München after winning the bank's advertising account in a pitch months earlier.

It shows a couple driving through the region in a classic BMW while a catchy hymn celebrates regional pride.
