Concept

A person in an impossible position. Absurd and almost grotesque. Then the next one. And then another. But why? People are in a defensive posture because of the pain. Of course, you can do that. But above all, you can choose not to! Because what REALLY helps with pain is doc® Pain Gel. It makes perfect sense!

The concept was the clear favorite in a market research study involving 1,000 users. Using a wide variety of AI applications, vignettes and fluid animations were then generated. The desired emotional impact is achieved through precise lip-syncing with a real voice-over artist. To reinforce the brand identity, the product animation was then integrated as a standalone, purely digital component. The background music was once again created conventionally—using licensed music without any AI involvement. AI, traditional expertise, and creativity come together in this production to form a successful team. The campaign has been running since May 2026 across multiple media channels, including pharmacy TV (in landscape and portrait formats), online and social media channels, and print; traditional TV is planned.

Vibrant colors, bold imagery, and minimal distraction: Pink, orange, and people in absurd poses in minimalist spaces define the clarity of the commercials. The product world presented next stands out clearly in terms of design and positions the pain relief gel as a functional, superior alternative. The consistent use of the corporate colors and the absurd poses of the likable characters create consistency, recognizability, and a distinctive brand image.

Even better with sound.
