They are following in the footsteps of Christian-Kumar Meier, whom they are replacing as managing director.
Thorsten Winkler and Melissa Spycher have both been with the company for over five years and have profound media know-how in all disciplines, according to the statement. Before joining Mediaschneider Bern, both worked for marketers, Thorsten Winkler at Tripadvisor in London and Melissa Spycher at Admeira in Zurich (formerly Publisuisse). "We are delighted about the trust placed in us and the new challenge, which we want to tackle with vigor," say Spycher and Winkler.
"By passing on the scepter of Christian-Kumar Meier, a seamless transition in the management of Mediaschneider Bern could be ensured. So for the customers, everything remains the same: An excellent team, which is responsible for the operational business, guarantees reliable service and further develops the strategic foundations and the digital services with the know-how of the Mediaschneider Group," says Urs Schneider, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Mediaschneider Group.
The fact that Christian-Kumar Meier will leave Mediaschneider at the end of March 2019 was already communicated last November. (Werbewoche.ch reported). After six successful years and many years of professional activity, he would now like to devote more time to his family and in the future to projects outside the areas of communication and media.
