The Swiss business and communications consultancy Mediapolis is closing its offices in Berne and Zurich. As of January 1, 2008, the offices will be transferred to Farner PR. Mediapolis will now operate centrally from its headquarters in St. Gallen. Martin Baltisser, the former Managing Director of Mediapolis Bern, will become the new Director of Farner PR in Bern and will manage the existing public affairs mandates from there. According to a press release issued on Wednesday, the takeover will make Farner PR one of the leading agencies in Bern.
There will also be another major personnel change: Mediapolis Chairman of the Board of Directors and former National Councillor Peter Weigelt is retiring from the communications consultancy with immediate effect and will concentrate on his strategic management mandates in future. However, he will continue to be available to Mediapols as a senior consultant and member of the Board of Directors. He will be replaced by the current Managing Director Dr. Sven Bradke as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Pascal Jenny, former Managing Director of Mediapolis in Zurich, will also be active in St. Gallen as a partner and member of the Board of Directors.
As part of the structural changes, the company will increasingly focus on business consulting in the future.
