The Swiss Text Award goes to Matthias Mächler

Last weekend, the Swiss Text Academy presented the Swiss Text Award for the fourth time at JuniorCom (a trade event for young professionals in communication, marketing and journalism) in Davos. The winner in the "Senior Texter" category is Matthias Mächler. The journalist and corporate publisher was honored for his wide-ranging work at a high level, including his columns and reports in well-known media such as the Sonntagszeitung and for his work as a corporate publisher (e.g. in Swiss Magazin). In the senior copywriter category, Sabine Hunziker Schmid, Fridolin Jakober and Ruth Hafen also received award nominations, as did Anton Neuenschwanden (shortlisted). The winners among the junior copywriters are Ciro Silvestri (category customer magazine, employee magazine), Ivan Madeo (category mailing, flyer brochure) and Nicole Urweider (category website). In addition, Julia Dieziger, Roger Welti, Stefan Köppli and Yvonne à Porta were honored with the Award Nominee Diploma for Junior Copywriters. In total, around three dozen copywriters applied for this year's Swiss Text Award. The main prize is the Textfeder, a bronze sculpture sponsored by the media company Tamedia.
