Wirz launches Ovomaltine campaign: joy in persistence

Wander has launched a new advertising campaign for its Ovomaltine brand, created by agency Wirz (Wirz Group). The creative package comprises three short films that reinterpret the brand's long-standing claim (“With Ovomaltine you can't do it better. But longer”) and emphasize enjoyment in persistence rather than perfection. The films are airing on linear TV and digital channels immediately and are the first phase of a longer-term campaign supported by social media and DOOH. Simon Schiess, Senior Brand Manager at Wander, and Jan Kempter, Creative Director at Wirz, are quoted about the creative approach. Production credits include CZAR Film and a named production team.

Swissmilk Launches 'Lovely Reminder' Campaign by Family

Swissmilk, the marketing organization of Swiss milk producers, has launched its first major umbrella campaign since hiring agency Family in a pitch in March. The campaign, titled 'Lovely Reminder', features the brand's CGI cow Lovely in unexpected everyday situations to remind consumers of Swiss milk. It includes five 20-second films, cut into two 30- and one 75-second versions, six OOH and DOOH motifs including mega posters, and is also distributed via TV, CTV, online and social media. The campaign concept is extended on a dedicated landing page. Media strategy and planning were done in collaboration with Ceres Media. Production was handled by Postoffice Amsterdam, with CGI fully used instead of AI to ensure detail in fur, body and facial expressions. This is the first umbrella campaign since the agency won the pitch, following a summer special campaign for the FIFA World Cup.

Swissmilk runs World Cup campaign focused on strong bones

Swissmilk has launched a World Cup special campaign created by the Swiss agency Family that highlights the scarred, resilient legs of the national team under the slogan “Proud partner of Swiss bones.” The campaign leans on the product benefit that milk contains calcium supporting normal bones and frames the message both for the players and the Swiss population. Rollout since the start of the tournament includes a megaposter at Zurich main station, physical and digital out‑of‑home in German and French Switzerland, public‑viewing placements in Vevey, display ads, and a Branding Day on watson.ch. Family says the activation is a standalone special measure separate from a nationwide umbrella campaign planned for autumn 2026. Family won the Swissmilk national communications mandate in March in a pitch run by the Swiss Milk Producers' Association.
