Cast and guardrails
One household carries every concept, so casting, wardrobe, and the router stay identical from board to board. Home: bright German family flat, oak floors, white walls, plants, a grey sofa, a wide TV wall, a small home office nook off the living room, warm evening light.
| Name | Role | Look |
|---|---|---|
| Lena | Mother, 38, works from home | Shoulder length dark brown hair, wears a sage green knit sweater, wireless earbuds, small gold hoop earrings |
| Tobi | Father, 41 | Short cropped hair with light beard, navy hoodie, reading glasses pushed up on his head |
| Mia | Daughter, 15, competitive gamer | Long blonde hair in a high ponytail, oversized black gaming headset with white ear cups, purple crewneck |
| Finn | Son, 8 | Curly red hair, striped yellow and white T shirt, always holding a blue tablet |
| Oma Rosi | Grandmother, 72 | Short silver hair, round glasses, cardigan in soft rose, lives in another town, appears only on screens |
| Speedport | The router | White Speedport style router with a soft magenta status light, sits on a wooden sideboard |
Positioning guardrails
- The feature keeps important activities steady when the home network is busy. It never promises faster internet or more Mbit.
- Customer facing name is Magenta Network Priority. The assistant is Magenta AI. No Booster, no Nexi in customer material.
- The household is never blamed. Streaming, gaming, and downloads are normal life, not villains. The network only needs to know what matters right now.
- Proof language stays qualitative, so stable, steady, and held rather than counts or percentages.
- Every reel ends on the invitation to test, not on a product sale.
01Board
17:00
The invasion, cinematic realism
Faithful to the EE structure but the chaos never wins. We stay on Lena's face and the call never breaks. The audience waits for the disaster and it does not come.
- Style
- Cinematic photoreal, shallow depth of field, warm late afternoon light, film grain, Telekom magenta only on the router light and the phone UI.
- Length
- 20 seconds
- Sound
- A rising kitchen clock tick, then a soft magenta chime when the call stays clear.
02Board
Eingefroren
The frozen face, comedy
The failure is shown first and made funny. Tobi freezes mid word in the worst possible facial expression, then the reel rewinds and replays the moment with the feature on.
- Style
- Bright high key comedy, symmetrical framing, saturated pastel wardrobe, slightly stylised like a modern sitcom. Glitch and pixel effects on the failure frames.
- Length
- 22 seconds
- Sound
- A video call chime, a record scratch on the freeze, a tape rewind, then clean speech.
03Board
Das Heimnetz-Gericht
The whodunnit, stylised 3D
A noir parody. The family holds a trial about who killed the Wi-Fi. Each suspect is presented with evidence. The verdict: nobody is guilty, the network only needs to know what matters.
- Style
- Stylised 3D animation look, soft clay like characters with big expressive eyes, dramatic single spotlight, deep shadows, a magenta rim light on the router, Pixar meets film noir.
- Length
- 24 seconds
- Sound
- A detective theme with brushed drums, a gavel, a warm resolve chord.
04Board
Der stille Held
Nothing goes wrong, documentary
The audience is primed for the disaster because every social ad shows one. Here the evening just works. The reveal at the end explains why. The emotion is calm and relief instead of chaos.
- Style
- Handheld documentary realism, natural light, muted colours, real skin, small imperfections, intimate close ups, no glitch effects at all.
- Length
- 18 seconds
- Sound
- Room tone, soft laughter, a distant kettle, one quiet piano note at the reveal.
05Board
Boss Fight
Gamer versus call, graphic split screen
A duel poster between Mia's ranked final and Lena's investor call, both at 19:00. The audience expects one to lose. The real threat is the 4K stream and the giant download, and both Mia and Lena win.
- Style
- Bold graphic split screen, black and magenta, kinetic typography, fighting game HUD elements, neon rim light, high contrast, energetic.
- Length
- 20 seconds
- Sound
- Arena bass, a fighting game announcer style beat, then a clean fist bump.
06Board
Oma sieht dich
Pure emotion, Telekom heart
The smallest stakes and the biggest feeling. Finn wants to show Oma Rosi his first lost tooth on a video call. The image freezes at the exact moment. With the feature, Oma sees the smile.
- Style
- Warm golden hour realism, soft backlight, gentle lens flare, tender close ups, the classic Telekom family feeling, shallow focus on faces.
- Length
- 22 seconds
- Sound
- Soft strings, a child's laugh, Oma's voice breaking with joy.
Where to go next
Recommendation
Every board ends on the same two frames: the promise frame with the household calm and the router light visible, then the invitation frame with the headline Teste Magenta Network Priority and the CTA pill Jetzt Testhaushalt werden.
Lead candidate
Board 6 "Oma sieht dich" for reach and emotion on Telekom channels, with Board 1 "17:00" as the closest realisation of the EE reference.
Younger audiences and gamers
Board 5 "Boss Fight".
Most shareable and comment friendly
Board 2 "Eingefroren", because the frozen face is a meme format.
Style alternatives
Boards 3 and 4 are strong alternatives if the team wants animation or restraint.
