With a new African campaign, Brussels Airlines wants to stress its superior service. In a 60� tv-commercial we see a stewardess performing her typical kindness and service in everyday situations on the ground. We see her bring coffee to a guy stuck in straffic or giving a small toy to a child looking bored during a museum visit. Every time the people react pleasantly surprised when seeing the stewardess appearing out of nowhere. The series of scenes is concluded with the line : “The kind of service you only expect in the sky�, followed by the logo of Brussels Airlines. The commercial is currently shown on CNN and TV5 in Africa.

During the night of Saturday 29th March to Sunday 30th March Belgians switched to the summer hour. Three o’clock became two o’clock and we all missed out on one hour of sleep.

To make sure everybody got out of bed Sunday morning Douwe Egberts launched the a wake-up-call service called Fokkiefoon (Dutch) and Faké Service (French).

You can order a wake-up-call for yourself or for your friends through the website www.fokkiefoon.be (Dutch) and www.fakeservice.be (French). You can choose the dyslectic message people will hear when waked up.

Looking at the database, we see most people want to get their friends out of bed around six in the morning. Quite a prank. Since many people are jetlagged during the whole week, the service will be available until Friday 4th of April. Enjoy.
