After criticism of the bumpy SPÖ Lower Austria election campaign, top candidate Franz Schnabl sees red. Campaign manager David (5) already fears for his job and in panic sets to work to create new posters.
KORNEUBURG – It’s 10 a.m. in the SPÖ’s campaign headquarters, the deep red Gusi-Gusenbauer kindergarten in Korneuburg-West. SPÖ campaign manager David R. (5) sits with his team from the Bärli group. Together they form the ten-headed “Schnabltierrudel”. But a failed poster causes ridicule and scorn.
David cannot understand the criticism: “You look like Dracula in the photo, Dracula is great, do you think Dracula is stupid?” he asks his boss Schnabl in the crisis meeting. “He can suck blood and fly and live a thousand years and doesn’t like garlic, but fresh blood, like Erwin Proell.”
Schnabl shakes his head: “But Dracula burns to death when he sees a cross… That doesn’t work in Lower Austria.” David understands, a beginner’s mistake in the Catholic theocracy.
On the other hand, David and Franz Schnabl unanimously think the idea of putting up the nickname of his competitor Johanna Mikl-Leitner is excellent: “That’s strategy. For 30 years no one has won an election if he or she was on an SPÖ election poster,” says Schnabl.
Brainstorming
“We need new funny sayings,” explains David, sipping from his “Frozen” drinking cup and placing game letters in front of him. SPÖ Marketing Manager Ida-Marie (4) is already pressing the next posters using potato printing.
Schnabl himself goes to the rabbit group on the first floor. The former competitors have become friends, Schnabl quickly recognized the talent of the little genius. David takes off his horn-rimmed glasses, confidently walks around the room like a very young Don Draper and presents the new slogans:
These are designs that will teach the competition to fear. Schnabl looks at the sayings with satisfaction. “Great, great, we will be able to convince all SPÖ voters in Lower Austria, both of them.”
