"Take the direct line" - so der einprägsame Claim des neuen DIRECT LINE Spots von DOP Florian HOFFMEISTER. Die britische "Car insurance and Home insurance" verdeutlicht sehr bildlich ihre "Human Power" mit ihren über 10.000 Mitarbeitern die sich im Vereinigten Königreich um Haus, Wagen und sogar Haustier kümmern.
Direct Line startete im UK im April 1985 mit 63 Angestellten und gerade mal einem Produkt - einer Autoversicherung, und genau einem Weg für Kunden sie abzuschliessen - über das Telefon, das natürlich auch im Spot nicht fehlen darf. Heute haben sie über fünf Millionen Kunden und bieten eine ganze Reihe an Produkten und Dienstleistungen an. Längst nehmen sie auch das Internet neben dem Telefon zu Hilfe und arbeiten international - so bspw. in Deutschland und Italien.
Von dem chinesischen Ausnahmepianisten Lang Lang zeigen wir Euch den Spot "A Tribute to Talent".
DOP war hier Sten MENDE c/o DBC.
Lang Langs "The Chopin Album" erscheint am 19. Oktober - auf diesem widmet er sich ausschliesslich den Werken Frédéric Chopins, der ihn, nach Tom und Jerry, nachhaltig beeinflusst hat. Das Album enthält die zwölf Etüden op. 25, das Andante spianato und die Grande Polonaise brillante op. 22 sowie eine Auswahl kürzerer Werke.
Und : Die MIDEM 2013 wartet am "Visionary Monday" traditionell mit eher unkonventionellerem Programm und einer entsprechenden Auswahl an Speakern auf, so auch Pianist Lang Lang. "Lang Lang wird darüber sprechen, wie er mit Hilfe von Talent, Technologie und Markenpartnerschaften die Klassik-Welt aufgemischt hat", wie es in einer Presse-Mitteilung der MIDEM 2013 heisst.
