Yes, folks, you read that correctly. In one of the more peculiar, yet intriguing campaigns we’ve received as of late, BBDO Dusseldorf has been sending out an invite over a 24-hour span (with the help of one of Europe’s biggest radio telescopes) to, yep, extra-terrestrials, asking them to come visit Entlebuch, which is Switerzland’s first official UNESCO biosphere reserve. UNESCO, in case you didn’t know, is an agency of the UN that stands for United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and is intent on building of peace, the eradication of poverty and sustainable development (current focuses include Africa and gender equality).
Anyhow, the Entlebuch valley itself aims to maintain a sustainable way of living for anywhere from 50 to 500,000 years, so they’re giving our friends from outer space a fairly wide time span to work with should they choose to make the trek to Swiss country. And what better way to reach any and all ETs that may be lurking out there than with a little yodeling, alphorn music as well as regional smells and sounds. If that doesn’t win the beings from outer space over, we don’t know what will. Good luck, gang, and make sure to let Mulder know if and when you succeed. Credits after the jump.
