Tamedia: Piazza.ch no longer with 20 Minuten
Until now, Piazza.ch was part of the 20 Minuten organization. The classifieds portal will now be integrated into the «Classified Online» division.
The "Clasified Online" area includes all classified platforms, such as Car4you.ch, Homegate.ch and Jobwinner.ch. In this way, Piazza.ch will be positioned together with Edicom.ch as a national classifieds platform. Tamedia writes this in a press release.
There are also changes in the management team. Philippe Uhlmann, the previous head, left Tamedia at the end of September. Until Roger Knabenhans takes over from Philippe Uhlmann at the beginning of 2012, Urs Hügli is currently Head of the "Clasified Online" division. Knabenhans has been with AZ Medien since the beginning of 2005, where he is responsible for the cross-media classifieds platform and the classifieds markets. Prior to that, he had overall responsibility for the classifieds business of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and NZZ am Sonntag.
