Press and Photo Opportunity

Image motif with monumental character

Task:

  • Develop and realise an image motif to Ccreate attention for the launch of the campaign "We are making great founders"

The central motives of the campaign are symbolic monuments to honour successful entrepreneurs.

 

Realisation:

DIE PR-BERATER developed the idea of the monument further and staged the local launches of the campaign as photo opportunity: Carsten Widera-Trombach, entrepreneur and successful founder of his own business, posed in front of a giant poster of 18 by 8 metres depicting his own monument. This press event allowed for the placement of the success story about the software and games developer in local newspapers and linked it to the announcement of the START MESSE in Essen. The occasion was also used by TV broadcasters as reference point for "making of"-reports for which DIE PR-BERATER provided extensive footage material. This playful and entertaining presentation made this story of a business start-up also suitable for yellow media and therefore extended the coverage of the campaign to a broader audience.
