Nowadays people only believe what they see
Challenge
5G has long been an integral part of our everyday lives. All telecom providers face the same challenge: How do you communicate something that is not visible or tangible?
Simple promises and awards are not enough here, because nowadays we only believe what we can see with our eyes.
"In May we started our network campaign "Welcome to the excellent O₂ network" and until the end of November it was successfully broadcasted across all channels. I am pleased that we are now seamlessly following on from this with attention-grabbing communication measures relating to 5G. "The visible Net" is characterized by a strong creative output and combines technology and art in a spectacular way. The campaign marks a new milestone for O₂ on the way to becoming a superbrand."

We are making visible what has never been seen before - O₂’s 5G network
Solution
Whether in the big city or in the countryside: We measured the signal strength of the O₂ 5G network throughout Germany and converted it into light signals.
These were then sent to an LED column hanging under a drone. Together with the most modern technology and well-tested photo technology, such breathtaking recordings were made of the flight routes of the drone, which made the 5G network visible to the human eye for the first time.
Key Facts
"The idea made you ask yourself why nobody had thought of it before. Staging a core product is a typical agency task - but how do you deal with it when the product is invisible? The artful staging increases the desirability even further."
