… with lipsticks, foundations and superstars from M·A·C. And BRAINARTIST.

With an attractive PoS relaunch for a top brand from Estée Lauder, you should actually make every sales floor look better. The challenge, however, was that this was not one of the easiest tasks at the finest addresses in Switzerland (including Jelmoli in Zurich and DOUGLAS in Lucerne) — challenge accepted!

Our top-class staging of the M·A·C brand already shone optically during the 3-D presentation and impressed the customers as well. However, sales were to continue, which reduced the time window here to a really cute and tiny size. And because service providers in Switzerland are sent to bed by the regulatory authorities by 11 p.m. at the latest, we just started — with a winning smile — after closing time.

Despite everything, our team at each location completed the installation the required hour before midnight. After a perfect job, we even had time for our beauty sleep.

Truly stylish — the M·A·C presentation at Globus in Zurich.

To be allowed to realise a complete world of experience for the M·A·C brand, by Estée Lauder, seemed almost a bit surreal to us. After we had brought ourselves back to reality, we were already in the middle of planning. Really now — that’s how it is at BRAINARTIST … The industrial robot arm, we constructed after a (attention: pun!) ‘hand-drawn sketch’ by one of our designers.

Above the laser engraving station, this concept attracted the desired attention in an almost machine-like precise way. From the oversized lipsticks to the smallest plotted letter, everything, including installation, actually came from BRAINARTIST and its partner companies — we truly swear.

What sounds more complicated than it actually is, is the new Nike React Infinity Run Flyknit.

This shoe was specially developed to — quite simply — prevent injuries. Nike calls the specially developed combination of special cushioning and sole shape a ‘rocker geometry’ for a smoother rolling motion while running. For us this sounded like another starting signal for another campaign in the Berlin Nike store.

Briefing: January 7th 2020. Installation was completed on 30th January — so we could look forward to the next projects with Nike very, very quickly.

It is precisely this attitude that an agency should — always — go to work with.

So can it be a coincidence that BRAINARTIST implemented and staged the first campaign developed in Germany for the German market for Nike in Berlin? All in all, Nike included more than 15 real heroes in the campaign. Because they do what they want to do, against all odds and doubts. In this way they not only help themselves but also others.

Of course we wanted to help first — and were pleased to do so in all three Nike stores in Berlin — In addition, the fearless IT heroes of BRAINARTIST developed the applications for the iPad and modestly controlled the content of the displays directly from our secret control room in Eltville.

When the starting shot for two Nike running campaigns was fired twice, we had to break our own records. But thanks to our well-trained team in Switzerland and our hard to beat PoS fitness, we made the race against the timing rather easy.

The end result: three spectacular ‘Nike Zoom Pegasus Turbo Shield’ windows at OCHSNER — plus the fast-paced overall staging of the OCHSNER CUBE surface with the ‘Nike Joyride Dual Run’ and a podium, which ensured a sovereign victory at the PoS with an incredible 7,800 specially produced damper balls in the original ‘Joyride’ design.

Several times a year, the big players in the sporting goods industry meet in Mainhausen. On more than 8,000 square metres of exhibition space, where the top brands of the shoe and sports industry present innovations and products, BRAINARTIST is busy making manufacturers from the ‘running gear’ sector look particularly good.

And because we understand the retailers, the manufacturers and the customers particularly well, we are proud to have been supporting this trade fair for more than 10 years.

The planning of the large order fair for our customer Nike has already been our responsibility for 10 years. Planning, organisation and decoration of the sales areas move BRAINARTIST also in December 2019 — and move the business of the participating retailers for 2020.

After the incredible success of ‘House of Cards’ on TV, we had the incomparably greater chance to play a leading role in the ‘House of Brands’ at Jelmoli in Zurich — to be more precise, to perform the installation for our new customer Estée Lauder on a premium space; in one of the most exclusive shopping malls in Europe.

Almost superfluous to say that we felt like stars while participating in this production. Some of us even felt like true shopping queens!
