Ifolor launches campaign with Sir Mary

Executive Signal Summary

Swiss photo product provider Ifolor has launched its first campaign with Zurich agency Sir Mary, which won the pitch for the overall mandate. Alongside the creative work, the agency is responsible for branding, social media, and media planning. The campaign, under the claim 'Halt das Leben einfach fest' (Hold on to life simply), features three 30-second spots humorously depicting the difficulties of capturing moments in prehistoric and ancient Greek times, shot on 16mm film. Additional materials extend the claim to products. Ifolor CMO Rafael Schenker emphasized the desire for authentic moments over perfect images. Creative director Adrian Merz highlighted storytelling. The campaign runs on TV, cinema, digital out-of-home, and digital channels, supported by audio and social media measures. A revised branding accompanies the launch.
