Advico Y&R: Annamarie Schneeberger retires
Annamarie Schneeberger worked at Advico Y&R for 46 years. She is now retiring.
Advico Y&R thanks the employee in a communiqué for her many years of service:
"1966 is an eventful year. John Lennon boasts that the Beatles are bigger than Jesus. Heinz Schenk takes over the program "Zum Blauen Bock". Indira Ghandi, Leonid Breshnev and Annemarie Schneeberger take office. In India, in the Soviet Union and at Advico.
According to the agency, Annamarie Schneeberger was already in the midst of the era of the real Madman when most of today's well-known faces in Swiss advertising were at best putting their first doodles on paper and living out their creativity with mashed vegetables. The days of martinis, casual banter and chain-smoking agency bosses - if they ever existed - are long gone.
Annamarie Schneeberger is still here. Until today. Almost a year after her regular retirement on July 31, 2011, she will be sitting at the agency's reception desk for the last time today. In 46 years, she has experienced everything there is to experience in an agency: Mergers, relocations, changes of ownership, countless successes and almost as many dramas.
The current Advico Y&R team wishes Annamarie Schneeberger all the best for the future and will miss her calm presence and warm nature.
If any of the hundreds of people who have worked with Annamarie over the years would like to write her a few kind words on her well-earned retirement, they can do so on the Facebook page 'Thank you Annamarie' do."
