Swatch
Creating & delivering a global digital campaign for Swatch Watch
The Project
Swatch Watch reached out and asked us to come on over and create a global digital marketing campaign for their Mothers Day watch campaign.
Working through initial creatives we hit upon and designed ‘A Time to Say Thank You’ campaign to every mum in the world, who forgive us no matter how naughty we’ve been.
We then designed the full roll out from creative animated CGI’s of the watch doing its thing, to be used as short stings to minute long versions for Swatches 3,371 global retail stores and their digital advertising boards across the world. We supported the activity with additional On-line website and web banner ads and social to off-line traditional advertising campaigns

Who are Swatch the Swiss Watchmaker
Swatch is a Swiss watchmaker founded in 1983 by Ernst Thomke, Elmar Mock, and Jacques Müller. It is a subsidiary of The Swatch Group. The Swatch product line was developed as a response to the “quartz crisis” of the 1970s and 1980s, in which inexpensive, battery-powered, quartz-regulated watches were competing against more established European watchmakers, focused on artisanal craftsmanship producing mostly mechanical watches.
The name Swatch is a contraction of “second watch”, as the watches were intended as casual, disposable accessories.
