Intr is a Bern-based agency specializing in branding, branded content and concept development.

Together with Remo Bitzi and Marc Schwegler, the owners of Staaacks, an agency for communications management based in Zurich and Lucerne, Friede and Häberli decided to strengthen the company's profile and expand its competencies.
As of the beginning of 2022, the two agencies will merge: The owners of Staaacks will join the management of Intr. This merger will add to Intr's portfolio clients such as the Swiss cultural foundation Pro Helvetia, for which Bitzi and Schwegler produce the international online magazine V/A - Various Artists care, or the Zurich Theater Spectaclewhose communication they manage.
With this addition, Intr is strengthening its profile in the development and implementation of brand and content strategies, in publishing and in communications management. The existing competencies would be expanded with the new partners, especially in the areas of PR, media relations and editing.
Following the merger, Intr employs 23 people at its headquarters in Berne and its branch office in Lucerne.
