The order for the app had already been placed elsewhere by the presidential department of Basel-Stadt as a matter of priority. However, Valencia was able to deliver all images and graphics for this.

"Anyone outside the region who hears "Basel Autumn Fair" doesn't automatically think of Chilbi, roller coasters or bumper cars," says CD Tommy Schilling, explaining the new campaign visual. "So we put the focus on funfair and arranged the diverse attractions and rides in front of a typical Basel city skyline." In the process, he said, the Autumn Fair jeton of the last six years, which also originated from Valencia, was centrally integrated into the colorful hustle and bustle. "This ensures continuity and strengthens the "Basel Autumn Fair" brand," Tommy Schilling continues.
