Wirz launches CSS autumn campaign with 'Du-Wir' approach

Executive Signal Summary

Swiss health insurer CSS has launched its autumn campaign for the annual switching season, developed by Zurich agency Wirz together with media agencies Webrepublic and E-Dialog. The campaign targets 25- to 50-year-olds and runs across Out of Home, Digital Out of Home, Connected TV, audio, and social media. The creative concept uses a dialogic 'Du-Wir' (You-We) tone to address the target group's life situations and link them to CSS benefits, termed an 'Unlock-Mechanismus'. The campaign aims to strengthen CSS's market leadership in basic insurance, moving beyond pure price communication. It includes dynamic display ads, search engine advertising, and a premium calculator. The campaign is orchestrated along a journey framework using first-party data and contextual targeting. The budget and duration were not disclosed. Key credits include CSS marketing leads Marcel Engelberger and Sebastian Schönbächler, with agency teams from Wirz, Webrepublic, and E-Dialog.

CSS launches prompt‑generated insurance campaign by Digitas/Saatchi

CSS Versicherung has launched a new marketing campaign for its property insurance lines, developed by Digitas and Saatchi & Saatchi Switzerland after winning a pitch at the end of 2025. The campaign, live across numerous digital touchpoints since mid‑April, uses concise headline wordplay (e.g., "Luggage. Loss?", "Water. Damage?") and deliberately avoids visual depictions of damage. Instead, monochrome single‑object imagery was created via prompting (not traditional photography), enabling efficient, scalable production. A Dynamic Creative setup automated format adaptation and delivery; more than 3,800 assets were produced in four languages and deployed across the sales funnel. The campaign covers travel, household, liability and building insurance and is planned to run for the next two years. Lukas Trinkler, Digital Marketing Specialist at CSS, is quoted on the creative approach.

Wirz Creates Surreal Campaign for Graubünden Ferien

Graubünden Ferien has launched a new tourism campaign, created with agency Wirz, to position the canton’s mountain villages as places of quiet, nature and deceleration away from large tourist centres. The creative uses deliberately exaggerated, surreal imagery — wrapped church bells, horses in felt slippers, woodpeckers with corks on their beaks — to suggest further 'silencing' through hypothetical measures rather than directly depicting stillness. The campaign began in June and will run across DOOH and online channels, including social media, display, native formats and audio spots. Production credits include DubDub (sound) and media handled by Speed U Up GmbH. The article was published on 2026-06-24.
