Platform-c and Aperto found Aperto Switzerland
The Basel-based creative agency Platform-c and the Berlin-based communications agency Aperto are joining forces to open the full-service agency Aperto Switzerland.
At its Basel location, Aperto Switzerland will offer its clients cross-media creation and implementation as well as strategy and consulting, according to a press release issued on Monday. The portfolio also includes digital projects, customer experience research, mobile solutions as well as relationship and online marketing.
Peter Hummel, Managing Director and founder of the Swiss agency Platform-c, will continue to manage the Basel agency under the name Aperto Switzerland. "Thanks to the cooperation with Aperto, we can offer our clients a broader service portfolio and also manage large-scale digital projects," says Hummel. He wants to increase staff in Basel, build up technical consulting and account management on site and further strengthen creative expertise. For large-scale projects, Aperto Switzerland can draw on the resources of the more than 250 Aperto employees in Berlin.
Platform-c was founded twelve years ago in Switzerland and offers services in the areas of interactive, creation, advertising, brand development and brand management. As Aperto Switzerland, the former Platform-c is now expanding its offering to include web and technology services, as well as online marketing, mobile web, apps and strategic communications consulting. Aperto has already been active in Switzerland for several years and counts Migros, Novartis and Post Finance among its clients. In Switzerland, Aperto already works with a network that includes Magnolia, Adobe and Logismata.
