    PR After Work Events in Hamburg and Munich

    On September 5 and October 1, our PR after-work events took place in Munich and Hamburg, which were all about the Brax rebranding and our new logo.

    Both were reflected in many details throughout the event, such as the ice cube for the drinks.
    Around 50 invited guests, including from the magazines Brigitte, Für Sie, Petra, Gala, Cosmopolitan and Freundin, accepted our invitation and spent two inspiring evenings with us. We were particularly pleased that all the important media partners, editors-in-chief and fashion directors were on board.
    The Q1 25 collection highlights were also presented and were very well received.
    The face reader fascinated our guests with his impressive skills and a DJ provided the right music to round off the evening perfectly.

  • BRAX with new marketing offensive "Break the expected" campaign clears up prejudices
    Herford, 13.09.2023
    BRAX with new marketing offensive "Break the expected" campaign clears up prejudices

    In September 2023, BRAX launches its new "Break the expected" campaign, fitting for the start of the fall/winter season. "After three successful years with our testimonials Ana Ivanović and Bastian Schweinsteiger, it was time to further develop our brand campaign for BRAX and find a new attention-grabbing approach with the two," says Marc Freyberg, Managing Director Marketing and Sales at BRAX. The campaign, for which the agency Scholz & Friends Düsseldorf is responsible, breaks with BRAX's previous communication and is characterized by its offensive nature.


    In the first phase, typical prejudices such as "BRAX has no style", "BRAX only has old men's fashion" or "BRAX is old-fashioned" are cleared up. Subsequently, fashion prejudices are refuted with striking styles from the current BRAX collection. The campaign will be visible at all touchpoints, with a focus on digital, which BRAX has expanded to include new channels. Thus, the previously used social media channels Instagram, Facebook and YouTube will be supplemented by Pinterest and the campaign will also be played out in digital out-of-home for the first time.

    "Unusual perspectives in photography and design in combination with strong claims and stylish outfits will make the campaign an eye-catcher and underline the modern character of the BRAX brand," says Marc Freyberg.
