WHY ?
After having introduced the successful Touareg initiative in 2006, QuA developed the Touareg Rally: an online game
played by all employees of PEPS in order to ensure that every employee felt jointly responsible for the planned increase in turnover and that knowledge is broadened and shared
among the different subsidiaries of PEPS. By offering monthly prizes, a high number of employees participated in the rally.
In September 2008 the Touareg initiative goals were achieved and celebrated by giving away a VW Touareg to one of 16
finalists of the Touareg Rally.
On achieving the Touareg initiative targets, a new strategy was launched: the S5 2012 Challange. A strategy focusing on
making PEPS the number one service provider in its field.
To communicate S5 to all employees, QuA developed a communication strategy that contained accurate corporate
information in a form that could be easily read, in various languages, by everyone; from CEO to secretaries, mechanics
to managers.

Concept

The S5 communication carriers should be flexible and accessible to everyone within the company. Using a ‘graphic novel’-look we could
have more control over the process, and limitless possibilities.

Complete collections of various comic book series were bought for research into this genre. The ‘comic’ had to
have a business-look with recognisable people and products.
