KUNDE: Bacardi-Martini, MARTINI BRUT

Agentur: McCann-Erickson, Genf
Media: Outdoor, Print advertising
Patric Pops Rolle: Art Direction

Konzept: Jeder kennt das berühmte "Geschüttelt, nicht gerührt" aus den James Bond-Filmen. Um den Start des neuesten Films zu begleiten (ohne dabei Unsummen als offizieller Partner zu vergeuden), wurde das MARTINI-Logo mit einem visuellen Effekt mit den schwarz-weißen Streifen verdeckt. Wenn man die Anzeige auf und ab schüttelt, wird das Logo sichtbar.
Für die Plakatwerbung habe ich die Herbeileitung des Effekt umgekehrt:
Von als Bondgirls bekleideten Hostessen begleitet, entdecken Kinogänger das Logo indem sie auf dem Mini-Trampolin auf- und abhüpfen.

Client: Deutsche Bank Private Banking

Agency: formerly Simko, now Saatchi Saatchi Simko, Genève
Media: Print
Patric Pop's role: Concept, Art Direction

Concept: Deutsche Bank Private Banking did win numerous awards as the best foreign private bank in Switzerland. A foreign bank in Switzerland, the homeland of banking? The concept was born: one nation inventing and another nation improving it later and becoming world famous for it. Please note that the mechanical watch was invented by the Germans and only later the Swiss took over.
Even with strict corporate branding guidelines (Logo placement, colours, typography) it is possible to create inspiring and memorable image campaigns.

Head: “On Fire!”

Award:
THE GLOBALS: finalist

Client: Swiss Dairy Food - Toni

Agency: Saatchi Saatchi Simko (formerly Simko), Geneva
Media: Poster, Print, Promotional teams, Contest
Patric Pop's role: Concept, Art Direction

Concept: Toni yogurt has been very popular for many years in the German part of Switzerland. After nearly three decades, the brand had to be introduced to the French part, too.
Toni yogurt is the only brand sold in real glasses, hence the concept focused on recycling. Aimed mainly at families, and putting the products in the center of attention, we showed how recycling can be fun.
We also launched a highly successful competition where clients could submit their own creations.
With a strong visibility, the launch of this “new” old brand was so successful that the client decided to pull all advertising!

Client: SBB CFF FFS - Swiss Railways

Agency: McCann-Erickson, Genève
Media: Poster, Print, TV-commercials
Patric Pop's role: Concept, Art Direction, Graphic Design

Concept:
For the national campaign in three languages I contributed many ideas (two of them shown here). While the ideas were shot by my Creative Director, I was in charge of preparing the entire campaign including the  Above-the-Line and also the Below-the-Line, which consisted of another 216 different posters and print ads.
Example 1: “Arrive earlier for your flight.” using the gangway as direct connection from the train to the plane.
“Every 30 minutes a train for Zurich.” plays on the humoristic element of our Swiss (national) cows, who are not used to this kind of frequent travels.

Client: Gestocigars

Agency: Patric Pop Creative
Media: Print
Patric Pop's role: Concept, Art Direction, Photography

Concept:
Gestocigars is famous for offering a permanent discount on standard market prices; this is possible due to a low overhead. To counter any rumours about fake cigars these ads talk about the genuity of the products. With the new strict French law about prohibiting any imagery of tobacco products, I bypassed it by creating one of the world's most expensive cigars, rolled from twenty 50 Euros bills and photographed for the campaign.
This campaign is a huge success among the cigar aficionados in Europe.

Client: Informationszentrum Beton (German Association of Concrete Producers)

Agency: Springer&Jacoby, Genève
Media: Print
Patric Pop's role: Concept, Art Direction

Concept:
With this long-standing client considering leaving the agency, I was given complete freedom and together with freelance copywriter Michael Bondzio, came up with a new campaign.

Overcoming my own resentment to concrete, my concept is based on emotions. The sturdiness of a house built with concrete is depicted by its simple outline, the homeliness symbolized by the warm tones within as opposed to the outer world.

The campaign was shot by world-famous photographer Peter Gehrke, unfortunately for me by a more senior art director. My concept was used for several years in subsequent ads.

Client: Scottish&Newcastle, 1664

Agency: Euro RSCG, Genève
Media: Print
Patric Pop's role: Concept, Art Direction

Concept:
What better way to announce the launch of the new 1664 Blanc beer than to christen it with some champagne? The ad on the right was created for a summer movie festival, playing on the name between the typical 16:9 format of movies and the name of the brand. Outstanding clients allowed this and more nice ideas. Please check out also the 1664 Casestudy for more details.

Client: Bacardi-Martini - Martini Brut

Agency: McCann-Erickson, Genève
Media: Print
Patric Pop's role: Concept, Art Direction

Concept:
I substantially contributed to this ongoing campaign. We chose to produce all ads exclusively in black/white to give this cheap sparkling wine a classier note and to optimize the strictly limited budget. Ads were placed in national newspapers at special occasions like Halloween, the Y2K Millennium bug or the New York Marathon, which got recycled for the popular ski marathon in Switzerland.

Client: Red Light District Piercing

Agency: Label Communication, Genève

Patric Pop's role: Concept, Art Direction

Concept:
All over town I noticed stickers from this Piercing studio. However these were never placed where it would make sense. My concept was to place the stickers in context within the environment.

Client: Feldschlösschen - Cardinal Beer

Agency: Saatchi Saatchi Simko (formerly Simko), Genève
Media: Print, Poster, Promotions
Patric Pop's role: Concept, Art Direction

Concept:
Winning this major account away from one of Switzerland's most prestigious agencies in Zurich, marked the increasing interest in Geneva-based, French-speaking advertising agencies.
The new business win came together a fridge and its never-ending supply of products.
