Threads at the summer festival

Some organizers of promotional parties are more fortunate, others a little less so. Jean Frey Verlag is one of the latter with the second edition of the JF Summer Party, where it started raining cats and dogs right on time for the start. Nevertheless, quite a few people gathered in the courtyard of the publisher of Bilanz, Weltwoche, Beobachter and TR7. As we still know from last year, tents are put up there as a precaution, so that the party can't fall into the water. And since the summer break is only recently over, the people also had a lot to talk about.
Mediaxis owner Peter Hofstetter was said to have gone among the beer suppliers. With his horse-drawn cart, he had almost managed to break through the siege ring around SF DRS's Gotthelf House. Incidentally, the beer idea for the launch of the latest Feldschlösschen hop juice triggered quite a media response.
The party was actually also something like the first official appearance of Sandra Geiger and Roger Knabenhans for Jean Frey AG. Geiger will soon take over the publishing management of Bilanz and Knabenhans the management of TR7. Sandro Rüegger again took note of this with one laughing and one crying eye. On the one hand, he is looking forward to his new task as head of magazine advertising at Tamedia, but on the other hand, saying goodbye to his previous team is not exactly easy for him. Which can be guessed by the fact that Rüegger will hold the position at TR7 almost until the last day before his job change.
Beat Fritschgenoss a recreational program last week. With the summer party in the courtyard of Jean Frey AG, only one event was on the agenda. However, even a single event can lead to a heavy head the next day, especially when the bar is as well stocked as it is at Förrlibuckstrasse.
