Lukas Film Sharpens Profile as Advertising Filmmaker
Zurich-based advertising filmmaker Lukas Gähwiler (Lukas Film) is concentrating his offering on documentary-style commissioned productions. Two years after relocating from Basel to Zurich, he published a new showreel and updated his website. Gähwiler says he develops ideas together with companies and organizations and produces films using documentary methods—observing, interviewing and condensing material into multi-channel films under the motto “advertising films for companies that prefer to look real rather than perfect.” He states the move toward in-house production by companies and the influence of AI on production processes in a press statement. He developed the positioning as part of a CAS Marketing Strategy at HWZ Zurich and previously refreshed his branding in April 2024 together with the office A+O.
Company-level repositioning and showreel update for a Swiss advertising filmmaker; limited direct impact on the wider AdTech/MarTech industry.

Schroten and Tom Gibbons Produce Zwhatt Short Films

The storytelling agency Schroten, together with director/cinematographer Tom Gibbons, developed and produced the spots which depict everyday life on the site (including a visit by an overstaying mother‑in‑law, a spa cold‑plunge scene and a gelato moment). The films are running on Connected TV and are supported by a German‑ and English‑language cinema campaign and social media creative (‘Gelbmänteli’ motifs). The campaign continues work from a 2025 film series that was recently nominated for a BCM Award. Credits list multiple production, casting, sound and graphic partners and named agency and client leads.
Bold Partners on Wingo's AI‑Generated Campaign
Bold partners Philippe Hansen and Moritz Adler discuss the creative process behind Wingo’s new brand campaign, which shifts away from testimonial-driven, comedic ads toward a simpler claim (“Weil's einfach geht”) and a visual system built around a “variable room” and a flexible Wingo logo. The campaign used a hybrid production workflow: studio photography and filming of real people provided source material that was then used to create AI-generated "Digital Twins" and final imagery/videos; no studio images appear unchanged in the finished ads. Swisscom (Wingo’s parent) requires transparency and labels the communication as AI-produced (“AI‑Umsetzung”). The agency says the approach changed roles across agency, photographer and production partners and accelerated creative testing via generative tools.
Maybaum Film Produces Hallenbarter's 100th Anniversary Film

The communication theme, developed with agency Egger Next, is «Jeder lebt Holz anders» (Everyone experiences wood differently). Production company Maybaum Film created six personal portraits and the new corporate image film focused on authenticity and local ties rather than traditional corporate messaging.
