König Pilsener Appoints Dirk&Philip as Lead Agency
König Pilsener has named Berlin-based Dirk&Philip as its new lead and social-media agency after previous partner David + Martin ceased operations at the end of 2025. Dirk&Philip took over the account at the turn of the year and has produced a first joint campaign that reinterprets the brand claim "Heute ein König" to shift the emphasis toward celebrating others. The campaign comprises two commercials (produced by Simon&Paul, directed by Sandro Jäger) and is scheduled to launch end of July across Addressable TV, digital channels, social media and DOOH, with further on-trade, sponsorship and point-of-sale activities planned. Dirk&Philip says the aim was to develop a younger, future-proof positioning within six months while retaining core brand assets.
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.
Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken Launches 'Wir' Brand Campaign
Volksbanken Raiffeisenbanken unveiled a nationwide brand campaign that centers on a sense of community (“Wir”). The creative and strategic concept was developed by BBDO after DDB — an Omnicom subsidiary and prior lead agency — merged into BBDO. Multiple Omnicom units support execution: Omnicom Precision Marketing/TLGG for social, 480Hz for below-the-line, and Mindshare Frankfurt together with VR-NetWorld for media. The campaign uses real customers and employees (no AI-generated faces) across 13 main spots plus additional assets, and features comedian Martina Hill in social films. A bespoke AI tool developed by BBDO Hamburg and Machine13 allows over 600 local branches to quickly generate brand-compliant local assets.
