In our most recent work for Menzis, director Ralf Demesmaeker gives a poetic touch to the campaign “Leefkracht”. The project centers around the concept of vitality, a physical as well as a mental force that can be found in everyone. From an 80-year-old gentleman to a young girl recovering from an illness, the campaign shows people’s raw authentic selves. Ralf worked with real talent, instead of actors, in order to achieve a documentary atmosphere harnessing genuine energy.
