Not quite saddle cowboys advertise for Galaxus

The new Galaxus campaign is supposedly all about cowboys. But they turn out to be neither smokers nor men of old.  

In its new TV commercials, online retailer Galaxus takes its audience on its usual humorous journey into an advertising genre that is almost forgotten but still familiar to older people: the cigarette ads of the eighties and nineties, staring at dirt and testosterone. But there, too, everything turns out differently in the end than you might think at first glance.

The three new films are available now through June 12, 2022 in theaters, TV and web TV, as well as online on YouTube in longer versions.

They are flanked in German and French-speaking Switzerland by a DOOH and OOH campaign with various moving and static subjects, which were created along the way during filming.
