Best cross-media event campaign

WDR: Supernerds

1st Prize

WDR: Supernerds

Supernerds is an interactive, multimedia theatre-television project – simultaneously online, on stage and on TV screens. To promote this live-event, the WDR produced an extensive cross-media campaign. The TV spots play with the internet habits and fears of the viewers: Scenes from real life are filmed with a webcam; the actors feel uncomfortable, like they're being watched. The feeling is reinforced by a flickering or noises, as if someone hacked into the WDR programme. Ambience and digital noises like notification sounds enhance the discomfort. Spots on TV and radio, posters, online and social media activities built up the suspense in the weeks leading up to the event. A unique event from WDR, confidently broadcast on all platforms.

Best cross-media station campaign

Comedy Central Germany: Channel Move

1st Prize

Comedy Central Germany: Channel Move

To inform the viewers about the move to a new channel and more airtime, Comedy Central developed a cross-media campaign for the 'Channel Move'. Two animated movers march into the programme and literally demolish it. They simply walk in, pull the plug and pack up the station logo. As an explanation, the screen is covered in tape. "We have moved. 3 hours more comedy." In addition, radio spots, banners, posters and custom-designed icons and symbols were placed. Nobody can miss this move!

FOX: The Walking Dead

In this cross-media campaign for the fifth season of 'The Walking Dead', nobody escaped the 'Walkers'. In addition to TV and radio spots, online banners, mobile and print ads, especially the Scary Shelter and the second screen app cause excitement. Using the latest technology, the Scary Shelter creates the illusion that zombies roam freely in Vienna. The specially designed second screen app, the FOX Zombie Buzz, offers fans a lot of additional information about the horror series: a quiz, videos, and a message board to discuss the hottest 'Undead' topics. The reward for FOX: a new ratings record for the premiere and an Eyes & Ears Award!
