Volkswagen Kombi: Last Wishes

VW pays tribute to the iconic VW Type 2 (Kombi). The last Kombi was produced in Brazil in December 2013 and AlmapBBDO Brasil run a campaign for the "de-launch" of the model. They also gathered stories from the Kombi's drivers and made the following film with Kombi's last 15 wishes. The documentary took six months in the making.

From the legendary Woodstock painted Type 2, to the first drawing of the car from Ben Pon, the 4 minute film is full of special moments. The last wish fulfills Kombi's journey.

Neue Zürcher Zeitung: The Digital Newspaper Holder

Convincing conservative newspaper readers about the advantages of a digital publication can be a hard task. Jung von Matt turned the classic wooden newspaper holders into a digital tool to surprise readers. With the use of LED boards inside the holders and the programming needed in order to receive RSS-feeds through an infrared transmitter, they managed to surprise readers and record a 2.7% increase in its digital readership for Neue Zürcher Zeitung from August to October 2013.
