The first DJ to mix from a wind turbine at 100 meters high - CEZ Romania, Neversea Festival | Clapboard Ad Archive

The 2019 campaign by Rogalski Damaschin for CEZ Romania and Neversea Festival redefined experiential marketing in the industrial and entertainment sectors by staging the first-ever DJ set from the summit of a 100-meter-high wind turbine at Europa’s largest onshore wind farm, the Fantanele-Cogealac CEZ Wind Park in Constanta County. This bold activation featured Romanian DJ Alex Parker performing a five-hour electronic music set, merging the cutting-edge realm of renewable energy with the cultural dynamism of the Neversea Festival, thereby creating a distinctive platform where sustainability meets creative expression in a single spectacular event. The campaign leveraged a unique personality property, an approach that sits squarely in Clapboard’s FORMAT#11 classification, by spotlighting this unprecedented venue and collaboration as the core brand differentiator rather than relying on traditional storytelling or celebrity endorsement. CEZ Romania, a major energy player, used this collaboration to position itself as a forward-thinking, environmentally conscious innovator willing to push the boundaries of industrial marketing, while Neversea Festival benefited from a powerful cultural association that elevated its brand beyond conventional music events. The technical complexity and safety considerations involved in hosting a live DJ performance atop a functioning wind turbine were navigated through meticulous cooperation between CEZ’s wind park engineers and Neversea’s event teams, emphasizing operational excellence alongside creative ambition. The single media asset encapsulated this landmark moment, delivering a compelling visual and narrative experience that captured public imagination and amplified the discourse around renewable energy through an engaging cultural lens. This campaign earned a Clapboard Campaign Score of 79/100. This activation matters to the industry because it demonstrates how industrial brands can authentically engage audiences by integrating their core business with culturally resonant, high-impact experiences that transcend traditional advertising boundaries.
