For MYP Magazine, we portrayed Luke Pritchard, frontman of The Kooks, at the Gibson Guitar Showroom in Berlin-Mitte—a few weeks before the release of the band’s new record, “Let’s Go Sunshine.”
In our interview, Luke discussed the importance of bringing some light and positivity into the world. And he explained how the band managed to revive his late father’s voice on the new record. Luke’s father had passed away when he was a young boy, and after the interview, he told us that his dad once had a Gibson guitar at home as well.

For more than five years now, the CIVIS mit Sonde guys have been entrusting us with the ongoing creative direction, photo production, layout, and prepress for the magazine, which is published three times a year. Also on board from the beginning: amazing illustrator Roland Brückner with his Bitteschön.tv team.

Visual campaign identity and website concept
After the commercial and photo production we created a specific campaign design and developed the concept for an interactive campaign website that was realized by diesdas.digital. On this website, BerlinLinienBus’s followers could upload their personal, campaign-related content. So the brand was able to directly communicate with its target groups.

We supported German tech startup Tapdo with a product-explaining commercial for its campaign on Kickstarter. The Tapdo guys—who use to create custom-made IoT solutions—developed a magic button which includes a fingerprint sensor worn on the wrist. During an amusing day at the studio, not only did we produce a colorful video for the young yet ambitious company, we also shot a couple of key visual photos for Tapdo’s brand communication in social media. Our dear friends of The Schmutz helped with set design and animation.
