    Sanifair Gewinnspiel-Kampagne (Fallakte #007 – True Design Crime)

    In dieser Episode von True Design Crime fahre ich mit euch raus – auf die Autobahn. Genauer gesagt: zu einem Rastplatz, an dem ein Poster hängt, das alles falsch macht, was Markenkommunikation falsch machen kann. Ein übertrieben jubelnder Mann wirbt dort für ein Gewinnspiel: Jeder 20. Sanifair-Wertbon gewinnt – einen Kaffee. Klingt wie ein schlechter Scherz? Ist aber leider echt. Und visuell eine Katastrophe: stockfotogeprägte Euphorie, leere Versprechen, fragwürdiges Marketing. Wir sprechen über die Ästhetik dieses Posters, das Geschäftsmodell von Sanifair – und warum ein bezahlter Toilettengang keine Bühne für pseudoemotionale Lotterie-Glücksmomente ist. 💡 Im Fazit zeige ich Alternativen: ehrliche Kommunikation, sinnvolle Belohnung, weniger Fake-Jubel – mehr Verständnis für ein echtes Kundenbedürfnis. 🎧 Jetzt hören auf https://truedesigncrime.com/ und überall, wo es Podcasts gibt!

    Text oder Revier markieren? Stabilo x Dolce & Gabbana (Fallakte #005 – True Design Crime)

    Wer hätte gedacht, dass ein Textmarker mal mehr über deinen Lifestyle aussagt als dein Auto? Willkommen zur absurdesten Kooperation des Jahres: Stabilo x Dolce & Gabbana. In der 5. Fallakte des True Design Crime Podcasts untersuche ich ein ästhetisches Verbrechen, das im Schreibwarenladen begann – mit vier bunten Markern für 30 Euro – und in der Welt der Distinktionssehnsüchte endet.
Denn wenn sich das deutsche Traditionsunternehmen Stabilo mit dem italienischen Pomp-Label Dolce & Gabbana zusammentut, entsteht kein Designwunder, sondern ein ironisches Symbol für performativen Luxus im Alltag. Was bedeutet es, wenn ein Alltagsobjekt zur Bühne für Status und Selbstinszenierung wird?
 Warum verkauft sich Stabilo unter Wert – und D&G gleich mit?
 Und wie hätte diese Kollaboration aussehen können, wenn sie wirklich innovativ gedacht wäre? Zwischen Büro, Bildung und Barockmuster fragen wir uns:
Was schreiben wir hier eigentlich noch – und für wen? 🎧 Jetzt reinhören und mitdenken.
