Swiss IWP Relaunches Poster Campaign
The Institute for Swiss Economic Policy (IWP) has launched a new outdoor poster campaign designed to present verified facts opposing common opinions and to stimulate public debate. The IWP, affiliated with the University of Lucerne by cooperation agreement but operationally independent and funded via its own foundation, distilled six poster designs from over 200 proposals. One highlighted claim cites ESTV data (2025) that the top 2% of taxpayers pay 50.7% of direct federal tax. The IWP chose physical posters over social media to benefit from greater persistence and public visibility. The campaign was produced in collaboration with Frank Bodin and follows an earlier 2023 poster initiative.
Localized marketing campaign discussing OOH vs social media; minor industry relevance but notes practitioner choice of posters for sustained attention.

Swiss Greens Launch Covid-style Heat Campaign
The Swiss Green Party launched an in‑house heat-awareness poster campaign on 12 July 2026. The posters intentionally echo the federal government's visual style from the COVID period but replace pandemic messages with heat-safety advice such as “regularly drink water” and “ventilate during cool hours.” The campaign will run on station posters in Zurich, Bern, Basel, Geneva and Lausanne. The party said it invested a five-figure sum in the action; party president Lisa Mazzone said the resemblance to the federal Corona campaign is deliberate and urged federal and cantonal authorities to treat the climate crisis as a crisis and protect people from heat at work, on the street and at home.
