Wingo Campaign Uses AI‑Generated 'Digital Twins'
Swisscom brand Wingo and agency Bold launched a new advertising campaign that photographed real models as references and then created fully AI-generated "digital twins" for the campaign. Persoenlich.com editorial director Christian Beck said the approach is legally cleaner than models that repurpose other images, while editor Sandra Porchet urged clear labelling to distinguish AI‑generated from real models in advertising. The piece also notes related publisher activity (a persoenlich.com podcast recorded on 26 May 2026) and mentions broader discussion about AI use in creative production.
Highlights practical use of generative AI in creative production and raises legal/ethical labelling questions relevant to advertisers and agencies, but is a single-brand campaign rather than an industry‑wide policy or platform change.

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.
Swisscom launches AI-made 'devicemonials' campaign
Swisscom launched a campaign called “Devicemonials” (running since July) that stars devices—smartphones, laptops and tablets—narrating their everyday lives to promote Swisscom services. Basel agency Mona und Mateo devised the concept, characters and stories (it has held Swisscom’s advertising account since June 2025), while Zurich-based production company Stories handled film production. Visual raw footage was generated with AI video models, but humans carried out editing, postproduction, voice acting and final sound design; about twelve people worked on the production (excluding voice actors). Episodes are distributed nationwide on digital channels, social media, blue Cinemas and television, with a new installment each month through December. Swisscom disclosed AI use in its press release but did not label broadcast spots; agency and production leads say AI alters workflows without removing human creative decision-making.
AI-Generated TV Spots Promote Bank Cler's 'Clarity'
Swiss agency Neu Creative Agency produced two AI-generated interview-style TV spots (German and French) for Bank Cler, positioning the bank around the theme of "clarity." The films, created in-house using AI tools, were broadcast — labeled as AI-generated — including a short break during the World Championship semi-final Switzerland–Norway on Swiss broadcaster SRF. Bank Cler marketing head Gregor Eicher said the bank remains cautious about using AI for depicting people; the specific tools and techniques used were not disclosed. Credits list Simon Rehsche, Nico Ammann and Fadi Nemr as responsible at Neu Creative Agency, with media by phd. The case is presented as part of a growing number of Swiss advertisers approving AI-generated moving-image content for TV, a practice still debated in the industry.
