Best digital marketing spot

1. Prize

TV 2 Denmark: All that we share

The spot was intended to communicate the new channel strategy 'All That We Share' for Danish TV2 in-house and externally. It reminds us to focus on similarities rather than differences. This emotional message was well received at a time when xenophobia and hatred of people with different mindsets were boiling up again and again: the spot was shared by millions of viewers around the world – it perfectly communicated TV2 Denmark's strategy and thus positioned the broadcaster with great precision!

1. Prize

ZDF: Mediathek Relaunch

ZDF accompanied the relaunch of the ZDFmediathek with an extensive digital marketing campaign. Under the motto "Everything in your time", digital spots and measures focused on the advantages of non-linear television in a striking and humorous way. And Böhmermann and his squeaky duck in the Loriot sketch 'Herren im Bad' rounded off the campaign wonderfully! One of the most interactive days on ZDF's Facebook page.

1. Prize

ZDF: 37 Grad

For this campaign, ZDF selected three influencers who, based on their personal experience, had a connection to the respective topic of the '37 Grad' documentary series. The aim was to raise awareness about the programme and increase interaction and discussion on the Internet. Organic posts on Facebook and Twitter, as well as ads on Facebook and Instagram, pushed the brand '37 Grad' over a period of just under three weeks. The result is just right: new fans, higher ratings!

Best digital innovation

RTL2: The Walking Dead – Apocalypse Live

1. Prize

RTL2: The Walking Dead – Apocalypse Live

Shortly before the start of the 6th season on RTL2 and the 7th season on Fox, the two channels used unprecedented mechanics and largely untried technology to let fans of 'The Walking Dead' become part of the action: two YouTube stars are put into a zombie scenario as part of a two-part Facebook Live broadcast. The community is there to direct the actions of the players directly. For the first time, the Facebook reaction buttons are used as interactive navigation tools and user comments are included directly. No other series has ever been promoted with such originality and creativity. The results surpass all expectations: several million live views, almost 100,000 live engagements, over 100 million overall reach – and coverage of online media with a reach of 86 million!
