Paintings and Chefs

It’s not often anyone gets to combine the fascinating yet distinct worlds of art and gastronomy, but as part of our work with the Judit Virag Gallery and Auction House, we were able to do just that. Our communications focused on bringing young art enthusiasts to the gallery with a creative programme entitled Paintings and Chefs, a co-operation between the gallery and gastronomical whiz kid Robert Rosenstein. The evening enriched the discourse around adventurous painters of the 1920s and 1930s such as Bela Kadar, Hugo Scheiber, and Bela Czobel paired alongside inventive gastronomical creations inspired by their lives and work.

Philip de Laszlo’s lost paintings

Zerocom was commissioned by the UK-based The de Laszlo Trust to work on a public relations campaign to raise awareness to the lost paintings of Philip de Laszlo, one of Europe’s greatest portrait painters. Amongst many royalties, head of states, famous and influential people, he portrayed The Queen Mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, Pope Leo XIII, Empress Elizabeth of Austria, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt and many more. As part of the project, we produced a short documentary filmed in the artist’s villa-studio with the art historians, Bea Somfalvi, Nora Winkler and Gabor Bellak.

The Luxury of Nature and Human Contact

Benyei Architectural Studio, we were determined to see to it that the underlying philosophy behind the designs found their way to the public domain. While creating the plans for the house, Istvan Benyei and his team kept one thought close to their hearts: a modern-day sense of luxury should go beyond the quality of design or premium construction materials; the true luxury of a building can be found in its ability to unite family, friends and the important subdued silence of nature. 

Bad Poems by Gabor Reisz

The works of Gabor Reisz are considered cult films; his first direction had a huge impact on an entire generation. Being given the reins of the communication for his 2018 movie Bad Poems was an exciting honour, especially when the film was inspired by his own experiences in life, giving people a glimpse of the lives of thirty-something Hungarians looking for their own path. Bad Poems lived up to the expectations and fast became a “must-see”, winning multiple awards in Torino and Monte-Carlo Film Festivals. As part of a complex and carefully planned launch campaign, we took the press to the film’s set, launched the social media platforms and organised the press screenings.

Nikola Tesla – Mind from the future

When it came to organising a mind-blowing opening gala for the ‘Nikola Tesla – Mind from the Future’ exhibition commissioned by Real Grupa, the largest agency in Croatia, there was a sense that we needed to impress. Inviting the movers and shakers of the city’s cultural life meant that the gala was the place to be seen, but we knew it was crucial that we also ran a well-integrated communications campaign led by press activity, social media and a hyper-local campaign – ultimately generating thousands of visitors to the exhibition.
