Ralf consistently brings his impeccable taste and talent to his working relationships. Using cool technical transitions and match-cuts, along with his signature animated visuals, Ralf’s touch brings freshness and originality to any brand in ways that are always visually surprising and emotionally engaging. Whether he’s creating a strikingly original arthouse vision to enhance the allure of a prestige client, or harnessing the energy of street sports to make everyday products buzz.
In our most recent work for Menzis, director Ralf Demesmaeker gives a poetic touch to the campaign “Leefkracht”. The project centers around the concept of vitality, a physical as well as a mental force that can be found in everyone. From an 80-year-old gentleman to a young girl recovering from an illness, the campaign shows people’s raw authentic selves. Ralf worked with real talent, instead of actors, in order to achieve a documentary atmosphere harnessing genuine energy.
