Vilsa campaign: Klaas kidnaps streamer Papaplatte

Vilsa has released the first of four spots for its H2Obst beverage featuring TV entertainer Klaas Heufer-Umlauf and streamer Kevin Teller (Papaplatte). In the early-August spot Klaas, who developed the campaign's creative concept, abandons Papaplatte in the forest to make the product's natural qualities experiential. The creative execution was handled by Florida Reklame, the advertising unit of production house Florida Entertainment. The campaign runs across Connected TV, online, social and streaming channels, DOOH and at POS, and is scheduled through the end of January 2027. Three additional spots are planned for September, October and November, and customers who buy H2Obst can enter a sweepstake to win an exclusive meet & greet with the two testimonials.
