The campaign ran under the title \u201cUnsere Vielfalt. K\u00f6ln St\u00e4rke.\u201d (Our Diversity. Cologne\u2019s Strength.) \u2013 a message that not only reflects the heart of the city, but also the identity of our own team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">Diversity is one of Allround Team\u2019s greatest strengths. The topic could not have been a more natural fit. For years, Fabienne has been a passionate advocate for the recognition of &#8220;otherness&#8221;. Growing up in Ethiopia and speaking six languages, she brings a deep understanding of intercultural communication \u2013 and consistently demonstrates that different backgrounds, perspectives, and lived realities are not reasons for exclusion, but sources of enrichment for any community. Her commitment extends far beyond the agency\u2019s daily work: whether at the Cologne Chamber of Commerce, the German Diversity Charter, or the German Diabetes Aid Gala, Fabienne contributes experience, conviction, and heart to important social conversations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">This mindset shaped the conception and execution of the campaign. Across several workshops, Fabienne guided around 20 participants from diverse Cologne communities through intensive evening sessions. People of different origins, religions, sexual identities, age groups, and life experiences came together to co\u2011create a campaign that unites rather than divides. The focus was on what they share \u2013 on what defines Cologne as a community.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">After the very first workshop, one thing became clear: the emotional connection to Cologne is strong. So why not make the city itself the unifying element of the campaign? The Cologne Cathedral \u2013 a symbol of home, history, and togetherness \u2013 became the backdrop for the five campaign posters. In the foreground: a park bench where real encounters took place. Cologne residents from all walks of life were photographed there, in conversation, natural and unposed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-334\" src=\"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181112-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The photoshoot was a true highlight. The atmosphere on set was warm, open, and full of energy. Participants not only had fun \u2013 they genuinely felt they were contributing to something meaningful. The resulting images capture exactly that spirit: they convey diversity, closeness, and authenticity. It was moving to see how quickly trust developed and how each person was able to bring their own strengths into the moment.<\/p>\n<p>A clear statement for lived diversity in Cologne. The campaign sends a powerful message: diversity in Cologne is not just a political goal, but a human need. And it shows that creative work becomes truly impactful when it is driven by real stories, real people, and real conviction.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-335\" src=\"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181112-003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are proud to have been part of this project \u2013 and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to an open, respectful, and diverse urban community through our work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-336\" src=\"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/20181112-002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stadt-koeln.de\/artikel\/67594\/index.html#:~:text=Die%20Kampagne%20%22Unsere%20Vielfalt.,offene%20und%20vielf%C3%A4ltige%20K%C3%B6ln%20setzt.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Further details about the campaign can be found on the City of Cologne\u2019s website<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A campaign for lived diversity that we helped shape and implement \u2013 creatively and strategically.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1689,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-marketing"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1688"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1688\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1690,"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1688\/revisions\/1690"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1689"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/preview-atsite.allround-team.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
