Huth+Wenzel wins Stada's Elotrans Reload account
Frankfurt-based agency Huth+Wenzel has won the creative account for Stada's Elotrans Reload. The first joint campaign is running immediately through mid-October across social media, Connected TV, linear TV (channels like RTL Zwei), digital out-of-home and ambient placements. The account move ends the prior cooperation with Schmittgall Health, which had handled the brand since the product launch in 2023. The campaign centers on a humorous fictional character named "Stefan" and the agency says it used artificial intelligence as a creative tool to develop Out-of-Home motifs. Claudia Rodrigues (Brand Manager at Stada) and Andreas Liehr (Huth+Wenzel managing director) are quoted on the campaign approach.
Top Social Media Campaigns Shine at Deutscher Mediapreis 2026
A W&V report highlights campaigns shortlisted in the "Media Idee Social Media" category for the Deutscher Mediapreis 2026. Featured cases include Lidl with Mediaplus Germany (and Serviceplan Group) turning a misheard lyric into a global meme via a fast, 360° activation—partnering in real time with Warner and using DOOH, mobile LED trucks and pop-up teams—and Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge with PHD Germany launching an AI‑driven Twitch activation that listens to livestreams and plays a Jason Statham audio cue when streamers mention their "car/auto." Brand‑lift studies are cited: Lidl’s campaign allegedly improved relevance and modernity with Gen Z, and the Volkswagen activation reportedly increased brand perception, purchase intent, recall and gaming-fit among target audiences. The article also mentions strong booking results reported for an unnamed campaign ("more than 48.00 trips were booked").
