Grips repositions itself and gets location in Zurich
CH Media Entertainment Grips’ young production unit can look back on a successful fiscal year; it will restructure its operations starting in April 2021 and expand its Zurich location. With this virtual centralization, the company will increasingly focus on three core competencies in the future.
CH Media's production unit specializes in the conception and production of moving image and audio content and operates decentrally at the St. Gallen and Lucerne locations. Under the co-management of Raul Steffer (Lucerne location) and Marco Hess (St. Gallen location), the still young unit has already been successful in its first year of existence, according to a CH Media statement.
Stronger focus on core competencies
Now, as of April 1, 2021, Grips will be further developed organizationally and structurally and expanded to include the Zurich location. Marco Hess will take over the management, and Raul Steffer will contribute his knowledge as a cross-site executive producer.
In its market development, Grips intends to focus even more specifically on its three core competencies of studio and outside productions, commissioned video production and commissioned audio production. In the audio segment, Grips is expanding its range to include podcast productions.
In the area of studio and outside production, the unit is taking advantage of synergies arising from CH Media Entertainment's infrastructure, according to the statement. This should enable a unique market presence almost across the whole of German-speaking Switzerland. With the move to CH Media Entertainment's new headquarters and production site in Oerlikon, customers will have the opportunity to realize complex productions in the studios.
