Welcome to
Grayling Frankfurt

Japan is more diverse as a travel destination than most other countries. Nevertheless, Japan is not a preferred destination for many Germans. One reason for this is that some prejudices persist: Japan is expensive. It is difficult to travel alone in Japan and discover the country on your own. Grayling had the task to develop a campaign that shows how accessible Japan is. To achieve this, Grayling chose an ambassador who is both deeply rooted in Japan and very popular: Janina Uhse spent a lot of time with her parents in Japan during her childhood and knows the country and culture very well. On a trip through Japan Janina presented her Japan highlights to her followers and all Japan-interested people. The digital activation was linked and strengthened by an out-of-home campaign in selected German cities.

In autumn 2019 HUAWEI introduced the Smartwatch GT 2 with a record-breaking battery life of up to two weeks. Grayling’s task was to creatively convey this unique feature to media and fitness- as well as style-conscious consumers in a wide-reaching way. The measure was to be quickly realizable and relevant not only for tech media but also for public media. In addition, the coverage should be more comprehensive than a mere product presentation. Grayling suggested to present endurance and features of the Watch GT 2 by an exceptional sportswoman who needs all functions in everyday life: Gesa Krause, Germany’s most successful steeplechaser. The athletics star was on the road for 14 days through Germany and Kenya, true to the motto of the Smartwatch #Runs2Weeks, the HUAWEI Watch GT 2 always on the wrist. Photos and videos were taken exclusively with the HUAWEI Smartphone P30 Pro. The followers got exciting insights into Gesa’s training program and nutrition. Interactive formats, such as Instagram Live, as well as interviews for selected media, flanked the action.

German coffee drinkers love frothed milk drinks. And are looking for coffee machines that are able to produce the perfect milk foam at home. This is precisely one of the strengths of De’Longhi’s fully automatic coffee machines. Grayling had developed a campaign that presented De’Longhi’s milk foam expertise in an unusual way. De’Longhi called on the online community to create a milk froth beard with a cappuccino and to post a selfie or a story with the hashtag #milchschaumbart. Each participant was able to support the German Stroke Aid during the campaign period, as De’Longhi donated 1 Euro to the charity for each participant. Actor Wayne Carpendale gave the starting signal for the campaign. For all those who wanted to take part but didn’t have a cappuccino at hand, Grayling had developed an Instagram Story filter that conjured a milk foam beard into the users’ faces. The campaign was played on the De’Longhi social media channels, supported by well-known influencers and spread with classic PR measures.
