Siemens | 3D air condensation washer dryer campaign | China

Siemens Home Appliances is introducing a new washer-dryer with 3D air-condensation technology in China with a seductive and sneaky ad featuring runaway clothing.

Leo Burnett Shanghai won the Siemens creative business in February. The Siemens' 3D air-condensation washer campaign concept is based on the idea that ‘the clothes you love, love Siemens’. According to the agency, most people base their purchasing decision on the washer's ability to protect and care for their clothes. The campaign targets young and affluent white-collar workers in China.

Belgium director Xavier Mairesse is behind the 90-second TV commercial that sees the clothes come alive. They try to escape from their owner to enjoy a nice bath in the neighbour's Siemens washer across the road.

“We feel that the idea will come out strongest when seen from the clothes’ perspective. Even your clothes prefer Siemens,” said Gordon Hughes, executive creative director at Leo Burnett Shanghai.

“This was the first storyboard we came up with and this was the storyboard that led us to win the pitch,” added ECD Amanda.
