Communication planners graduate
In their welcoming addresses, the two examination directors on behalf of KS/CS Communication Switzerland, Roland Ehrler (German-speaking Switzerland) and Michel Repond (French-speaking Switzerland), emphasized the bright future and the wide range of opportunities that the young graduates with the certificate would have in the communication market. No other examination at this level requires so much detailed knowledge in the three main subjects of communication planning, media and production, and with a pass rate of 75 percent, the examination board considered 2017 to be a good year. The three best candidates, who all more than earned their federal certificate with a very good average grade of 5.2, were particularly honored. Jacqueline Mäder, marketing employee at ebi-vital in Kirchlindach, Veronika Wiesgickl, translator at Vaudoise Assurances in Lausanne, and Tanja Zahner Brasser, marketing communications planner at Forster Profilsysteme AG in Arbon, took home various cash and non-cash prizes in addition to the obligatory bouquet of flowers, and the subsequent aperitif riche was accompanied by the soulful music of the young Bernese soul duo Laura Wiessmann & Jones.
