BVG

Completely contactless

Agency: Serviceplan

Description

Serviceplan Campaign Berlin and BVG are highlighting the pilot project for contactless payment on BVG buses, which has been running since the summer, with a neighbourhood musical. As always with a lot of love for the German capital of Berlin, and a nod to its typical characters. A cast of neighbourhood personalities are featured by styling the campaign with various bags and pocket formats which might be associated with different styles and musical tastes, for example; the Kreuzberg punk girl, the Neukölln street rapper, the Spandau Atze, the Mitte mum and the eccentric Charlottenburg couple celebrate in and on their way to the bus. And always in harmony with a nostalgic new edition of Peter Schilling's 80s hit "Völlig losgelöst". Named a ‘Kiez’ musical in honour of the German word (mainly native to Berlin and Northern Germany) that refers to a city neighbourhood, or relatively small community within a larger town.
But how do you stage a musical during a pandemic, when everyone has to wear masks on public transport? Instead of the people singing, their bags and pockets are animated and sing the song. They are brought to life entirely without computer technology in a homage to Jim Henson and the Muppets.

This professional campaign titled 'Completely contactless' was published in Germany in October, 2021. It was created for the brand: BVG, by ad agency: Serviceplan. This Film medium campaign is related to the Transport industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted over 2 years ago.
