Brief Explanation

For most people pop music and science seem to be inconsistent with one and another. By carrying this seemingly opposition self-ironically to extremes we arouse their interest in Popakademie Baden-Württemberg.

The Brief

Successful pop music is no coincident. With know-how it can be almost predictable and the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg provides the academic basis it needs. Find a way to advertise young music fans of this educational supply with striking print ads.

How the final design was conceived

We humorously dramatize the analysis of famous pop music phenomena in the form of scientifically looking diagrams.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

With controversial print ads we enabled people a different point of view towards pop music – beyond the consumer’s one. This made Popakademie Baden-Württemberg word of mouth and raised young music fans’ interest in its educational programs.
