We had to demonstrate both the sun’s and the association’s innovative power. We impressively did this by developing the first annual report powered by the sun. Its content remains invisible until sunlight falls on its pages. The report was met with great response not only in Austria but worldwide.

The association Austria Solar stands for all the important solar energy providers from Austria and was seeking to reach out to opinion-leaders in the political and economical field. So we were asked to develop a remarkable medium, which portrayed Austria Solar as a consistently innovative inter-trade organisation of the Austrian solar industry. The annual report was – apart from association members – primarily addressed to opinion-leaders in economical and political fields.

The report was so well received that we had to have it reprinted. We received more than 400 requests from all over the world, e.g. Ernst & Young, the Austrian office of the Federal Chancellor, the TED conference, Greenpeace to name a few. As an additional result, the printing company Mory & Meier has ever since been overwhelmed with orders.

Since solar energy is the main business of our client Austria Solar, we thought about how we could put this energy to paper. By creating an annual report that is only readable under UV exposure, we impressively demonstrated the sun’s and Austria Solar’s power to the target audience.
