Die Serie, die es (noch!) nicht gibt – Am Wörthersee der Trailer

Wir, die Tourismusregion Wörthersee-Rosental, haben uns etwas ganz Besonderes ausgedacht: Einen Trailer für eine Serie, die es (noch!) nicht gibt. Inspiriert von der legendären 90er-Jahre-TV-Serie „Ein Schloss am Wörthersee“ entstand unter der Regie von Patrick R. Neubäck ein aufwendiger Trailer mit hochkarätigem Cast, darunter Manuel Rubey, Julian Waldner, Michael Pink, Sarah Jung, Reinhard Nowak, Alena Gerber und Anna Strigl. Das Projekt wurde von einer umfassenden Produktionskampagne begleitet, die die Region Wörthersee-Rosental ins Rampenlicht rückt.

Was als außergewöhnlicher PR-Stunt begann, entwickelte sich schnell zu einem vollen Erfolg. Aufgrund der enormen Resonanz arbeitet unser Team bereits an der Umsetzung einer sechsteiligen Miniserie. Diese kreative Kommunikationskampagne wurde nicht nur zu einem Highlight der Filmbranche, sondern auch beim renommierten Golden Drum Festival in Portorož, einem der bedeutendsten Werbefestivals Europas, mit Gold ausgezeichnet.
