In the coming days, stormy discussions and isolated lawsuits are expected. The newsjacking campaign is polarizing, as comments on TikTok and Instagram show. With this playful advertisement, Denner promptly reacts to Lidl's removal of the Swiss cross – and strongly positions itself as the original Swiss discounter.
