In their new campaign spot on the occasion of Valentine's Day, MediaMarkt and Saturn show that technology is good - but at the right moment. In parallel, accompanying product spots with current offers provide examples of how technology can create precious moments with loved ones. Ingolstadt, 9. Februar 2023: Die Beziehung zwischen Liebe und Technik kann kompliziert sein. Daher schlagen MediaMarkt und Saturn anlässlich des Valentinstags ruhigere Töne an: Die Augen kleben am Handy-Display, Gaming-Abenteuer fordern die volle Aufmerksamkeit, das perfekte Selfie ist wichtiger als die Begleitung – der neue Kampagnenspot mahnt zu einem achtsameren Umgang mit Technik im Alltag und appelliert für mehr Zeit für die Liebsten. Ab dem 13. Februar läuft der Spot im TV und Kino sowie online.

MediaMarktSaturn continues to expand its range of recommerce solutions: From now on, customers can benefit from a sell-back service for numerous electronic devices – both in store and online. Europe’s biggest consumer electronics retailer is cooperating here with Foxway, the leading recommerce company. The company is thus expanding its buyback offerings. With this form of circular economy, MediaMarktSaturn intends to make a significant contribution to the reduction of electronic waste and CO2 emissions. The initiatives are an important component of the extensive company-wide sustainability initiative “BetterWay”.

MediaMarktSaturn has developed an international campaign concept for its MediaMarkt brand together with its new lead creative agency Saatchi & Saatchi. For the first time, it will be rolled out company-wide in all 13 countries in which MediaMarkt is active. The campaign is based on a new brand purpose and is thus characterised by the strategic reorientation of the company, which focuses on the customer experience and personal advice. The core and unifying element of the campaign is the claim "Let's go!", which interlinks all communication across all channels. In Germany, the campaign will start on 1 October 2022.
