Flayr relaunches Apfelkiste as lifestyle shop
Swiss online retailer Apfelkiste has repositioned itself as a lifestyle shop under the new claim 'Voll dein Ding'. The company, which operates behind SkySale Schweiz GmbH, now offers over 60,000 products ranging from gadgets to beauty and leisure items. A new private label called 'Kisten' has been introduced. The rebranding strategy, visual identity, and umbrella campaign were developed by the agency Flayr in collaboration with the internal team. The strategic concept 'Enjoy-Commerce' aims to combine Swiss reliability and fast delivery (orders by 8 PM delivered next day) with an inspiring shopping experience. The campaign includes humorous headlines like 'Eigentlich too much. Eigentlich perfekt.' and launches with two spots: 'Animal Print Battle' and 'Office, aber nice!'. Media channels include OOH, DOOH, display, social media, and YouTube.
This is a brand repositioning of a Swiss online retailer, relevant to retail media and advertising, but not a major industry shift.

Brack.Alltron launches cardboard-themed brand campaign
Brack.Alltron (Brack) has launched a new brand platform and nationwide campaign developed with Brinkertlück Creatives, completed by May 2025 under the motto Heute bestellen, morgen auspacken and the creative claim Pack aus, was in dir steckt. The fast-moving rollout uses handcrafted cardboard product replicas built from Brack’s Willisau packaging, favoring tangible production over AI imagery, and runs across DOOH, print, online and five new TV spots — a return to TV after an earlier pause. The relaunch includes a refreshed corporate identity with category-specific color worlds, the repositioning of four brands and a rebuilt online shop. Production credits include Boogiefilms and UPP. The initiative highlights Brack’s expanded beauty assortment following the PerfectHair acquisition and promotes next-day delivery across Switzerland via Swiss Post for non-spedition items.
XXXLutz refocuses brand, replaces long-standing claim
XXXLutz is repositioning its brand communication after about ten years. From September the company will replace its previous claim with “XXXLutz – Alles für dein schönes Zuhause” to present itself as a cross-channel home brand emphasizing inspiration, services and broader home assortments while keeping furniture as the core business. The launch includes a digital campaign featuring actor Matthias Schweighöfer; the animated film was produced by For Sale together with Storybook Studios and used AI-supported technologies. XXXLutz says the group operates more than 400 stores across 14 European countries, employs over 27,600 people and generates around €6.4 billion in annual revenue. The move aims to create additional purchase occasions amid a weak furniture market and higher pressure on growth.

Swiss retailer Volg has continued its image campaign "Hier sind wir" with new creative motifs developed by Basel agency Mona und Mateo.

Volg operates about 600 stores in Switzerland. Credits on the campaign include Tamara Scheibli (Volg communications head), agency creatives at Mona und Mateo, photographer Bobby Doherty, photoproduction by Tasty Pictures, and media handled by the Generation Media.
