High Confidence

Local retailer campaign with limited industry impact; relevant as a creative OOH/DOOH campaign example but not industry-shifting.

Digitec Galaxus Continues Galaxus Mobile Video Campaign

Digitec Galaxus continues its Galaxus Mobile video campaign with a new wave of three short films published on 3 August 2026. The creative concept—scenes where group activity turns into chaos—remains unchanged and promotes a "Family + Friends" subscription option that reduces the monthly price by CHF 1 per additional member (up to CHF 4 per person at five members). The campaign began in May 2025 (six spots), added four more in October 2025, and the new films will run online, on social media and other digital channels in German- and French-speaking Switzerland. The campaign has been handled in-house by Digitec Galaxus's creative team, with listed external production partners credited for the latest wave.
