A brief journey through history
Why SkyWriters?
When skywriters appear, they ignite our imagination and inspire us to push beyond boundaries. We see them high above - at 10,000 meters cruising altitude - passenger jets painting symbols in the sky with their contrails. Or as propeller planes skillfully crafting entire messages across the horizon. In every case, the sky becomes an unexpected and striking communication platform.
In the 1920s, skywriters revolutionized marketing and communication in their own unique way. Messages found new avenues to capture attention and tell compelling stories. This spirit defines us. Our agency’s name, "The skywriters", is a commitment: to creatively expand horizons through communication.
No path is too far, no idea too unconventional, and no platform too unorthodox for us to use in conveying information, interests, and messages. With us, clients can expect the unexpected. Only the sky is the limit - that is our message, the message of the Skywirters.
Fittingly, we commissioned Berlin artist Kiddy Citny to create our signature emblem—the Loop, reminiscent of a contrail - and produced a video to bring it to life. Kiddy, a former Berlin Wall artist, never let barriers stop him; instead, he painted on them and transcended their limits. His mindset represents freedom - breaking past what is typically considered convention.
This is what you, our clients, can expect from us. We look forward to it.
