When the art director lets the models on set shoot at him with styrofoam balls from the kids room, then the vibes must be pretty good. “Everyone was totally laid-back and relaxed,” female lead Ines c/o BRÜDERCHEN & SCHWESTERCHEN reports from the shoot in a chic apartment in north Düsseldorf. Together with Benjamin, she appears in the new ad for BERLINER SPARKASSE.

Berliner Sparkasse is advertising the Robo-Advisor for investments with its 'Bevestor' campaign. If you're confused, you are probably not alone. "I had not read up on it until then either," Ines laughs, "maybe I will take a look at it now." Benjamin shows how it's done on the laptop : whether much or little risk, long-term or short-term investment, just click and wait. Because Bevestor helps you to buy and sell stocks without having to be a DAX professional. It's what bankers refer to as a digital investment solution for long-term wealth accumulation. We just call it very convenient, at least for those who have something to invest.

In this case, the Berliner Sparkassen have put their money on the right horse: a young team with great actors, super-delicious catering and a great location with the perfect floor for a first class performance.

The World Cup photos for ZWILLING were created at a studio in Flingern, and a day later, Kathrin, Peter, Arthur, Stefan and Leanne went to Nettetal. Shot in a giant, idyllic garden were motifs to fit the topic "BBQ with friends".

"It was a great two days," says Peter, who was allowed to wear the jersey on the World Cup photos. Unfortunately, he couldn't keep it, "but then I participated in Gemini's Instagram competition again," he laughs. He didn't win there either. The five models from BRÜDERCHEN & SCHWESTERCHEN got along great right off the bat, they talked and laughed a lot, so that they didn't have to hardly pose to stage a World Cup TV evening or a picnic with friends.

The focus for ZWILLING was mainly on the presentation of the food. "A food designer whom photographer Oliver often works with was on location all the time," says Kathrin. The fresh salad was draped and served on the plates until it looked perfect. "You couldn't eat it anymore though," Kathrin laughs, who found out during the shoot that Zwilling also has glasses, bowls and trays on the program in addition to their famous knives.

Even Peter's beer was a Pils from the bottle – but the foamy head had a little help from ice snow. The photos show how great the models harmonize as a clique of friends. And even if winning the title didn't work out in 2018 – it was a lot of fun for everyone involved, and winning isn't everything.

Zwilling J. A. Henckels is a knife manufacturer based in Solingen, Germany. It is one of the largest and oldest manufacturers of kitchen knives, scissors, cookware and flatware. Since 1970, it has been a part of the Werhahn-Group. zwilling.com

AXEL c/o BRÜDERCHEN & SCHWESTERCHEN is the new face of the Dusseldorf volunteer fire department. The pillar of fire protection in the city of Dusseldorf is the volunteer fire department. Their ten extinguishing groups are located mostly on the outskirts of the city. They run about 1,300 fire protection and technical assistance assignments each year. At the side of legendary actor Jürgen Mikol, we present Axel as a volunteer hero in various everyday situations of the volunteer fire department – and learn a lot more about it by doing so. Because life as a voluntary superman is not as simple as you think. duesseldorf.de//freiwillige-feuerwehr
