Frei Kirchgessner becomes Frei Group

Agencies The PR agency Frei Kirchgessner und Partner has changed its name to Frei Group Communications after Urs Kirchgessner left the agency in December. The agency with offices in Berne and Zurich was able to increase its fee turnover by around 10 percent in 2003 and thus consolidate its position in the BPRA ranking, writes Frei Group. The 2002 ranking shows the agency in 7th place with CHF 3.85 million. Frei Group's declared goal is to be in the top five by 2008.
