imove - From A to B without the &%#!

JCP PRAD
Owning a car is generally more stress than fun. But if you subscribe to a car instead, you don't have to deal with any of the problems that ownership offers you. To showcase this difference, we created a story about two identical neighbors, but with a slight difference between them: One owns a car, the other subscribes to a car from imove. And the consequences of this choice.

We Are Social Deutschland
Influencer culture has slowly turned Instagram into a place of dangerous standards which are unrealistic for anyone to uphold. A place that makes you feel bad - about your weight, lips, income and even the food you eat. It has become a breeding ground for images of tiny unseasoned salads. We integrated the very people who created this culture into a campaign which rebels against it.
