Directed by Pedro Giomi through Caviar, this innovative and educational campaign for the Alzheimer Forschung Initiative is based on the idea that the disease can be literally described as a glitch in a patient’s brain. 

The campaign, titled The Glitch, is filmed from the first-person perspective of a lady as she goes about her day, but each scene and activity, from getting dressed to shopping, ‘glitches’ into the next without warning or cohesion. 

Datamosh glitch effects were used to create the transitions between scenes, with the aim of demonstrating to a younger audience the intense confusion and frustration that a person living with the disease, and their loved ones, can experience.

Kristoffer Heilemann, Managing Director Creative at BBDO Group Germany, explained: “People have been using the Datamosh effect to create many types of cool content and memes on TikTok and Instagram. Now we are using it to invite this audience to join a bigger challenge”.
