Strategy and creative brand direction for the German Socialist Party's presidential campaign, from the project's pitch phase in 2020 to the elections in September 2021. Working on brand and campaign strategy and concepts, copywriting, campaign identity and voiceovers. Done together with agency BrinkertLück.
We managed to completely shift the party's public perception, taking it from a third place coalition option, if any, to a leading position like it hadn't been for the last decade. A full brand reset thanks to a strong and thought-through strategy and an effective and daring election campaign.
A new party claim was presented to launch the party's presidential programme, kicking off the campaign at the beginning of 2021 and putting the voter in the center of their efforts going forward ("Zukunft" & "für Dich"). Bold, personal and direct – a new era for the party. Claim created together with Raphael Brinkert.

CAMPAIGN COMPARISON AND PRESS EXAMPLES
