Moments that last

It is the little moments that make the Christmas season unforgettable. The childhood memories that everyone carries within them were the basis for the conception and implementation of the fundraising campaign "Moments that last." The core of the campaign is a commercial that was accompanied by comprehensive media and marketing measures.

Website

Within the framework of the existing corporate design and based on a lot of already existing content, the fundamental concept of the new website was laid out in several on-site workshops. In close coordination with the project team as well as those responsible for the technical side, the information architecture of the website, among other things, was restructured. In addition, attention was paid to editorial elements that enable multimedia storytelling directly from the CMS.

At the center of the relaunch was also the topic of "fundraising," where we were able to contribute our expertise and completely overhaul the donation process on the site.
