HDI and Ralf Schumacher Launch Second Campaign Film
HDI, together with brand ambassador Ralf Schumacher and agency Mawave, has released the second film in its current advertising campaign. The 20-second spot humorously depicts a bromance story, referencing the final scene of "Fast & Furious 7" and elements from WirkaufendeinAuto.de ads. The campaign aims to strengthen HDI's brand in the private customer segment and appeal to new target groups, making insurance offerings more understandable. The agency Mawave, led by Managing Director Till Weyerhäuser, delivers its first major work for HDI with this campaign. The spot is being distributed across Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
This is a routine brand campaign announcement for an insurance company; it is relevant to AdTech only as an example of agency-client relationship, but has low industry impact.

Helvetia launches new social series under new brand claim
Zurich agency Pas Mal produced a new season of Helvetia's social-media series about a shared flat, timed to the market launch of the merged Helvetia brand (post-fusion with Baloise) on July 1.

Helvetia did not disclose total campaign budget or historical spend comparisons. Communications lead Tobias Ritter and Pas Mal Creative Director Jonas Bayona are quoted about the format's longevity and production investment.
Twentyrising Debuts 'Oberhammer Oberbayern' Music Video for Sparda-Bank Munich
German agency Twentyrising has unveiled its debut campaign for Sparda-Bank München after winning the bank's advertising account in a pitch months earlier. The two-minute music video, titled 'Oberhammer Oberbayern', is a love letter to Upper Bavaria. It shows a couple driving through the region in a classic BMW while a catchy hymn celebrates regional pride. Sparda-Bank CEO Peter Berger says the campaign reflects the bank's role as a community-focused 'Gemeinwohl-Bank'. The film ends with a link to the 'Oberkonto', promoting the free Sparda Next checking account. The integrated campaign runs in cinemas, on social media platforms including Reddit, TikTok and Twitch, across (D)OOH surfaces and on radio. The video was produced by Umlautfilms with music by Not A Machine and directed by Baris Aladag. Twentyrising also modernized the bank's visual identity and serves clients such as Congstar, Netflix, RTL and Freenow.
