NZZ with new advertising market division and personnel changes

Following the change at the helm of the NZZ and Markus Spillmann's assumption of the editorship, the constitution of the new management board of Neue Zürcher Zeitung AG has also been completed. It now consists of Markus Spillmann, who chairs the board and is responsible for journalism, Dr. Daniel Hofer for publishing and production and Alfred Hümmerich for finance, IT and human resources, and a new advertising market division has been created within the publishing and production division. Together with the internal and external sales and marketing organizations (NZZ Media, Tourmedia, foreign agencies), it is responsible for marketing the NZZ, NZZ am Sonntag, NZZexecutive, magazines and supplements and other products to advertisers and media agencies. The head of this new unit is Dr. Christoph Bauer, the former Head of Marketing at NZZ. Ulrich Oswald, Head of Marketing Magazines, will continue to market the monthly magazine Folio with an independent sales team.
Kurt Blum, previously Head of Project at the NZZ publishing house, will take over as Head of the Readers' Market. He replaces Vincenzo Vito, who is handing over the reins at his own request to take up a new challenge outside the NZZ Group. Vito will, however, remain with NZZ until the fall and work on various strategic projects for NZZ.
