Write a short summary of what happens in the digital or ambient execution or campaign.

The DEVK Selfiescarf is a „groundbreaking“ promotional item the football world has never seen before. For the first time, it allows fans in the stadium to cheer for their team and take selfies at the same time. On the front side a typical 140cm Cologne FC football scarf to support the team. On the back side with a built-in bluetooth button and a specially designed smartphone holder that fits all common phone models to take selfies. From the first draft to the actual prototype, the Selfiescarf was developed, designed and built in house. Then we gave a limited edition of scarves to Cologne FC fanclub members to test them live at a home game in Cologne FC’s stadium.

Cultural / Context information for the jury

Cologne FC is battling to return to the Bundesliga. Once a very successful and proud club, they’re now buried in the second division. However, their fans have never lost their typical Cologne-style sense of humour and support their team with vigour, but also with a twinkle in the eye. That’s why DEVK is so proud of being their sponsor. However it’s worldwide problem that more and more fans are rather busy with their phones during games than supporting their team. Since our campaign motto is „We turn your problem into our problem“, our goal was to promote this motto within the target group. And develop a solution that helps the fans to become better fans – so that the team gets the best support possible.
