The new Franke campaign brings creativity and ef-fortlessness to the industry. Eight internationally re-nowned artists depict the world of experiences with Franke products in inspiring illustrations.

Franke aims to make everyday life a little less ordinary and provide its customers with perfect support in their daily lives with its products. Already when purchasing a prod-uct, buyers imagins how they will use it, where they will put it and how it will give them the most joy. For instance, one can sense the delicious smell of the cake slowly escaping the oven – or the coffee business operator imag ines satisfied customers enjoying their cappuccino in the morning. A future is depicted where the new prod-uct makes work easier, increases well-being or improves sales. This is how Franke creates worlds fuelled by the power of imagination.

The new Make It Wonderful brand campaign turns the images in people’s minds into tangible pictures. Using doodles, it focuses on products and people in a playful manner. Such doodles are fully in line with our nature. We often scribble our ideas on a piece of paper, thereby creating imaginative structures. In Make It Wonderful, Franke introduces more effortlessness, humor, creativity and inspiration to the industry. After all, dry products in sterile spaces hardly evoke emotional moments of everyday life in customers.

Renowned artists from around the worldA large number of illustrators from all around the world was available for the brand campaign. Franke consciously opted for artists with hand-drawn illustrations and an emotional, natural style. Gyro, a London-based agency,

drew up a shortlist of 35 favorites from the 120 candi-dates. These artists’ work was then jointly assessed. Fi-nally, eight renowned illustrators were chosen.

Depending on their style, the artists were assigned to the various divisions. With sample sketches, the artists were shown what statements and ideas needed to be con-veyed by Make It Wonderful. They were then granted any freedom they desired, provided they stuck to the one re quirement: Make It Wonderful! In no time at all, authen-tic and natural illustrations were created that perfectly embodied Make It Wonderful. The illustrations can now be used in various ways. They can adorn business cards, embellish packaging, be used in advertising or be print-ed as bumper stickers. There is no limit to the possible applications.

Make It Wonderful strapline drawn in doodle styleIn addition to their illustrations, all artists also drew a Make It Wonderful strapline that may only be used with

the matching illustration. However, if the strapline is used without illustration, it can be used freely. All these straplines stand for playfulness and effortlessness. This also became clear when the neutral strapline was created for the claim. When visiting the Gyro agency, Nina Pieper drew a doodle for Make It Wonderful. Nina Pieper, a member of the Artemis

Board of Directors and daughter of Artemis CEO Michael Pieper studied fashion design in Munich, is the founder and owner of a Swiss fashion accessories chain and has worked for Tom Tailor Hamburg, Jean Yu New York and Yoh Atelier de Couture Zurich. Her sketch suits the cam-paigns style perfectly and can be used wherever prod-uct images are displayed.

How does Make It Wonderful manifest itself in your illustrations and what inspired you?For me, the key aspect is the movement of flowing. In my work, I wanted to capture that moment when everything is in flux. Water is my biggest inspiration. When looking at my picture from up close, you see lines and dots; only from a distance do they start to move and begin to flow. This is an everyday experience, but I tried to focus on the movement, the flow, so that the everyday becomes “wonderful”.
