Ringier Zurich, Switzerland Project: Concept development for new corporate website and new intranet |
Ringier is an multinational media company based in Switzerland, with assets around the world. Working with a selected group of Sandboxers from our network of young over-achievers and representatives from different departments within the company, Sandbox designed and ran a 3-day creative session to develop new approaches for Ringier’s corporate website and intranet. The creative process as well as the combination of internal and external viewpoints ensured that the results were fresh and out of the ordinary, but at the same time aligned with Ringier’s values and strategy.

Syngenta Basel, Switzerland Project: Thought For Food |
Syngenta had the chance to nominate 10 fellows to the One Young World conference in Zurich in September 2011. The selection of the participants was based on a challenge bringing together students from 10 European Universities around the topic of food security. Our role in this Thought For Food project consisted of designing a coherent challenge frame (topic, mission, structure, judging), as well as supporting the teams at different phases to help them unlock their full creative potential.

Kanton Zürich Zurich, Switzerland Project: social media consulting |
For the public administration of the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland’s most populous and economically powerful region, Sandbox developed and implemented a Social Media strategy whose aim it is to make the administration more transparent and accessible to citizens. The pilot project, one of the first of its kind in Switzerland, does not use Social Media merely as another communication channel, but as a dedicated platform for dialogue between the administration and the citizens. In addition to developing the strategy, Sandbox provided training and ongoing advice and consulting during the launch phase of the project.

As the airport was studying ways to become more active on social media channels, we helped to get a conversation started with their followers and advised them towards setting up an online customer support. We also analyzed what competitors are doing, helped choose tools to monitor the social media activity, and made recommendations to set up guidelines regarding the use of social media within the company.

Fraport AG Frankfurt, Germany Project: Creating the airport 2.0 |
Airports are places where people connect – in multiple senses of the word. The social web, too, is about connections.
So how can an airport use the new web-based communication tools to its advantage? This is the question we were asked by one of Europe’s busiest airports. In order to answer it, we first set out to create a Social Media Audit for our client. We looked at already existing conversations about the airport on different platforms. We also studied the online activities of other airports around the world.
We saw considerable unused potential for our client. So we decided to find out how people are actually using social media when travelling. We identified a group within our global network (who are both avid social media users and frequent travelers) and discussed the topic extensively with them. Since our members think entrepreneurially, the result wasn’t just a social media strategy in the narrow sense, but rather a broader set of recommendations on how to make the airport truly «2.0»: Ideas were not limited to using social media as only a communication and marketing tool, instead they flourished into truly innovative approaches for redefining the overall experience of a transportation hub.
