The Campaign
To change this love–hate relationship into pure love, we took the first step. And approached our passengers with the highest form of love: tolerance. Together with YouTube artist Kazim Akboga, we produced a music video in which we present BVG’s tolerance in a way no one would expect from a public transport company.
Creative Execution
Together with YouTube artist Kazim Akboga, we produced a music video in which we present BVG's tolerance in a way no one would expect from a public transport company.
Over 17 million views, 30% new fans on Facebook, 25% more followers on Twitter and an ad equivalent of more than 2 million euros. Additionally an enormous national and international press response, including Slate Magazine (Washington Post), Berlin's largest daily newspaper (BZ), and nearly all major national media.
The original song „Is’ mir egal“ was published in 2014 by YouTube artist Kazim Akboga. Together with him we produced a new version of the song in a way no one would expect from a public transport company. We proved that the BVG loves all of their customers, regardless of what they look like or how they act, with the effect that the BVG earned what they seeded: tolerance.
To change hate into love, we took the first step. And approached our passengers with the highest form of love: tolerance.
