Journalism / Firmenmagazin (CH)
German term or phrase: Selbstläufer (CH)
Magazine interne d'une grande société suisse. Chapitre consacré à ses produits/actions auprès de la clientèle.

"Diese Kundenaktion entwickelte sich zum echten Selbstläufer" - idée pour l'instant 'Cette action auprès de la clientèle s'est transformée en un véritable produit-phare" ...

Mais ça ne m'emballe pas du tout car cela ne traduit pas parfaitement le sens de "Selbstläufer" (etw., was wie von selbst Erfolg hat) ! Merci d'avance pour votre aide.

(un) incontournable


Explanation:
Cette action ... est devenue incontournable.
Cette action ... est devenue un incontournable. (J'ai un faible pour cette formulation !)

Pas évident de rendre la notion exacte de "Selbstläufer" en français, en effet.
