„The explainer videos that we have produced with youknow would now amount to a feature film. And it is still exciting every time to see how they condense complex topics into easy-to-understand clips.“

„In youknow and especially designer Robert Wolff, we have found a partner who has a deep understanding of our brand and message, but also a great passion for the project and a certain attention to detail. The TV commercial is emotional and explanatory at the same time and conveys in just 14 seconds what our products are all about: pure and vibrant water that you can taste and feel. Our expectations of the commercial were absolutely fulfilled: We were able to record a significant increase in users on our website as a result of our brand campaign and are also seeing increased demand from retailers.“
