Plan|B Agentur für Massnahmen and Sofie realize anniversary campaign for Testex

The independent textile and leather testing institute Testex, based in Zurich, is celebrating its 175th anniversary. Together with Sofies Kommunikationsdesign, Plan|B Agentur für Massnahmen has implemented a comprehensive anniversary campaign.

JubiläumskampagneIn addition to sharpening the brand, the agencies developed and implemented a multi-stage anniversary campaign. With subjects from the extensive photo archive, core values and competencies are to be conveyed on the one hand, but also historical and local ties to Zurich on the other.

In addition, a purely typographic campaign was developed, which refers to the competencies of Testex with a wink. With wordings such as "We didn't invent the spinning wheel, but...", "We didn't invent the zipper, but..." and "We didn't invent the hook-and-loop fastener, but we have been developing future-oriented testing methods for textiles since 1846", the aim is to convey Testex's expertise using understatements.
