Good news despite the crisis: This is what set us up today
There is plenty of bad news these days. In this article, the Werbewoche editorial team gives an overview of developments that have pleased or encouraged. Today with Peter Philippe Weiss, Mazda, Google Cloud and Facebook.
A full restaurant in your own living room
If we can't go to the restaurant, the full restaurant comes to our home. The Basel restaurant "Bodega zum Strauss" can be audibly ordered home at the touch of a button. Sound designer Peter Philippe Weiss has made the restaurant's acoustic portrait available for free streaming to Corona-at-home-goers. At Bodega-sound.com the soundcloud link can be clicked - and already you feel like in the middle of the bodega.
Mazda supports aid projects
As part of the "Mazda Help" solidarity campaign, the automaker provides vehicles to specific aid projects. The campaign is based on three interlinked elements: a call for projects, the involvement of the Mazda dealer network and the participation of Mazda drivers. Currently, 20 vehicles have already been mobilized - with the involvement of the dealer network and customers, the number is expected to increase further. Interested parties can respond to the call from Mazda.
For a first pilot project before the launch, several vehicles were given to the Farmy company to distribute locally produced food to medical personnel in the cantons of Vaud and Zurich, which are among the cantons most affected by the pandemic.
Google Cloud gives customer support teams a helping hand
With the Rapid Response Virtual Agent Google Cloud aims to help organizations ensure round-the-clock customer communication via voice, chat and social media channels. The chatbot will initially be available to public health organizations, government agencies, non-profit organizations, as well as in other highly impacted industries, including tourism, financial services and retail.
Facebook introduces COVID-19 help feature
After launching in the U.S., U.K., France, Australia and Canada, Facebook Community Help is now available in Switzerland and is designed to make it easier for users to actively offer or seek help - for example, delivering groceries to elderly neighbors, distributing food through local food banks or donating to relief efforts.
