Wirz Group increases sales by 16 percent in 2008
The Wirz Group is satisfied with its 2008 fiscal year. Revenue rose by 16 percent, and the group was able to acquire 23 new clients. The Zurich-based agency also sees a bright future ahead: Wirz represents exactly what is currently in high demand again—the «communications general contractor,» according to Group CEO Geri Aebi.
The Wirz Group can look back on a good year: Sales of the independent Swiss communications group rose by almost 16 percent to CHF 24.9 million in 2008 (gross operating income), with all three core companies Wirz Werbung, Wirz Corporate and Assai Dialog+Digital contributing to the positive result.
In terms of new business, the past year was also satisfactory for the agency. It won a total of 18 competitor presentations and thus landed 23 new clients, including Alstom, Bank Sarasin, Bilanz, DSM Nutritional, Emmi, Heks, Kaba, Nespresso, Partners Group, Riderspalace, Roche, SBB, Schoolnet.ch, Swisscard, Unique and Würth Financial Services.
Geri Aebi, Chairman of the Wirz Group Management Board, which he forms together with Urs Binggeli (Wirz Corporate) and Michel Juhasz (Assai Dialog+Digital), sees the reasons for the good business performance not least in the special constellation of the Group. With the three companies operating under one roof, Wirz offers a wide range of communication services, and clients are increasingly looking for the "communicative general contractor" as a partner.
