Swiss launches live digital scratch-card fan campaign
Thjnk created a live interactive fan promotion called "Swiss Eisrubbeln" for airline Swiss at the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship in Switzerland. Users pick a Swiss national player in a web application whose real-time on-ice movements are tracked and mapped to a personalized digital scratch-card; revealing three Swiss logos wins a flight voucher. The web application was developed with W3 digital brands GmbH. The promotion, part of Swiss’s tournament sponsorship, launched on 11 May 2026 and is promoted across social and digital channels with contributions from national players including Roman Josi, Nino Niederreiter, Andrea Glauser and Nico Hischier. The activation runs while Switzerland remains in the World Championship.
Campaign-level marketing activation with a digital web app and influencer support; relevant as an example of experiential/digital sponsorship but not industry‑shifting.

Swiss launches World Championship campaign with NHL stars
Swiss, the official airline of the Swiss national ice‑hockey team, launched a sponsorship advertising campaign for the 2026 Ice Hockey World Championship. The film, running 11–31 May 2026 under the claim "The home advantage begins with the home flight," features Swiss NHL players Roman Josi, Nino Niederreiter, Timo Meier and Nico Hischier. The campaign was developed by Thjnk Zürich, directed by the duo Salsa and produced by Czar Film AG.

Detailed production and agency credits and Swiss marketing project leads are listed in the announcement.
Spool runs World Cup promo activations
Promotions agency Spool AG executed two rapid-response promotional campaigns in Switzerland after the Swiss national football team reached the World Cup quarterfinals. Spool ran activations for the brand El Tony—sending "Hopp Schwiiz" teams to hand out mate drinks made with ingredients from Argentina—and for the newspaper Blick, which ran an "Ade Messi" competition offering a flight to Argentina and distributed promotional sachets. The activations took place across six Swiss cities, involved roughly 50 promoters, drivers and logistics staff, and were organised within two days. The Swiss team was eliminated in the quarterfinal by Argentina. Credits list Eveline Roos (Intelligentfood Schweiz AG) and Birgit Kleinalstede (Ringier AG) as responsible contacts.
