Brief Explanation

The Berliners have an intense love-hate relationship with their public transport company BVG. The challenge was to change this attitude with a remarkable campaign. As a Berliner of Turkish descent, YouTube artist Kazim Akboga was the perfect face to celebrate diversity, inclusion and equality. 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.

The song is a tribute to the colorful Berlin audience with the statement "No matter who you are: The BVG loves you as you are" - and underlines the existing slogan "Because we love you". The most important thing was authenticity. We casted on the streets of Berlin and were looking for real Berliners and found them there. They were not put in costumes, the gothics were real gothics and the transvestites real transvestites etc..
