Every winter, around 34,000 workers sustain injuries from skiing and snowboarding. Suva’s new app and communication measures seek to prevent this.
Accidents in recreational sports mean pain, restrictions, and inability to work for those affected. For insurers, this means annual costs of over 300 million Swiss francs.
Because more than 90% of accidents are self-inflicted, Suva is focusing on increasing information and awareness among snow sports enthusiasts. The "Slope Track" app developed for this purpose measures stress while skiing, raises awareness of relevant risk factors, and provides tips for improving physical performance and reducing stress.
It is promoted with a newly developed campaign in the typical Suva style of recent years. It shows protagonists who master tricky situations in snow sports only thanks to much more luck than brains or skill.
The central advertising medium is the 35-second TV spot, but the campaign plays a wide range of media: from various online clips, banners, and display ads to print advertising, social media activities, and articles in industry newsletters to chair-hanger advertising and digital playouts on public transport in the ski resorts.
A celebration full of miracles: This year's Migros Christmas campaign was penned by children.
The mountain villages of Graubünden urgently need more guests. The main attraction should be the original nature.
Under the motto "The power of the new - why it's always worth tackling something new", Wirz invited guests to the 50th edition of its cocktail this year. Around 300 guests from companies, associations and the media came to the "Aura" in Zurich. The panelists, who have consistently tackled new things in life, spoke about their lives with curves and edges - and inspired some on the spot to make room for the new in a spontaneous yet lasting way.
