Young Bernese advertising agency gets paid with sheep

Abstrus, a Bern-based advertising agency founded in December 2017, states on its website that clients can pay for its services in kind. For example, the starter package costs one sheep and three chickens.

The two company owners Martin Fussen and Pascal Föhr were not surprised when one of their first customers tested the offer. Christoph Appert, CEO of the Liechtenstein start-up ForYouFirst, said: "Their service was flawless, but I also wanted to test whether they would actually accept a sheep as payment. In addition, the conditions for buying the sheep were very favorable." The two owners of the agency kept their word and the three of them were already standing with the sheep in a pasture in Grafenried, Canton Bern.

The payment modalities and formalities would still be somewhat difficult, said Fussen, because the dear animals should be kept in a species-appropriate manner. With a smile, he added that they would also consider further training in veterinary medicine in order to be able to better assess the value of the animals. On the company's website Abstrus.ch by the way, it is explicitly pointed out not to bring any animals to the introductory meeting. We'll see what abstruse advertising ideas the two of them have in store. In any case, we wish them success with a whole flock of sheep.
