Galaxus launches web series 'Galaxus Stories'
Swiss online retailer Galaxus has launched a web series titled 'Galaxus Stories' as a creative marketing experiment. The first season consists of six episodes, each depicting fictional customer encounters in a fictitious Galaxus store. The episodes, available on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, cover humorous scenarios such as a 'nerd romance', a dishonest grandmother, and a failed anniversary. Galaxus emphasizes that the stories are purely fictional but may resonate with employees. The series is produced by a mix of internal and external film and acting talent. The videos, although designed for social media, sometimes last nearly a minute, challenging the trend towards short attention spans. The campaign team believes this longer format will engage viewers more deeply. The initiative is positioned as a 'creative trial balloon', distinct from traditional advertising, aiming to highlight the quirks of customers and staff.
A creative marketing campaign by a Swiss online retailer, interesting as a case study but not a significant industry shift.

Digitec Galaxus: A Partly Fictional Company Short Film
For its 25th anniversary Digitec Galaxus released a 15-minute short film titled “Unfiltered” that retells the company’s founding story while deliberately fictionalizing events. The film premiered at a company party in Zurich and was subsequently published on YouTube. It was written and directed by Jelena Vujovic and stars Jonathan Fiebig and Joël Schnabel in the roles of founders Florian Teuteberg and Oliver Herren; about 30 Digitec employees appear as extras. The article notes factual anchors — Digitec was founded in 2001 by Teuteberg, Oliver Herren and Marcel Dobler; Migros acquired a 30% stake in 2012 and later exercised an option to take 70% in 2015 — but emphasizes that parts of the film (including the ending) are fictionalized.
