Describe the brief from the client

Entega is an energy provider that campaigns for a sustainable energy supply. As a Christmas present for corporate clients and business partners, the company traditionally sends out calendars for the upcoming year. The brief was to develop a calendar that expresses Entega’s corporate mindset.



Describe the challenges and key objectives

To have an impact and actually get used, the calendar was to be suitable for the business clients’ families as well as of high quality, express Entega’s corporate mindset and encourage the recipients to think about the way they see and use energy.



Describe how you arrived at the final design

We addressed popular prejudices or misapprehensions about energy and climate change and converted them into fairytales. In 12 energy tales, we told stories that may at first seemed fantastical but always held a serious background. Due to the black-and-white – and thus also provocative – style of narration the stories offered lots of topics for discussion. The paintings further supported the stories on the visual level just like we know from classic storybooks.



Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The calendar was a huge success and in such high demand that Entega is planning on printing a new edition of the calendar next year.
