Yjoo expands management team
Five years after its founding, Yjoo Communications is expanding its executive team. Effective January 2015, Thomas Egger and Lea Schindler, two long-time employees, were appointed to the expanded executive team.
The agency is now managed directly by a four-person management team consisting of the partners Martin Zahner (Chairman), Nina Krucker (CEO), Gabi Badertscher (St.Gallen office) and Martin Hofer (Zurich office). An extended Executive Board was also installed at the beginning of the year. This is made up of the existing members of the Executive Board Sabine Bianchi, Samy Güttinger, Daniel Herrera and Marco Werder, as well as the two long-standing employees Lea Schindler and Thomas Egger.
Art Director Thomas Egger has been part of the YJOO team since the agency was founded in 2010 and leads the design team in Zurich. He studied at the Ecole Cantonale d'art de Lausanne (ECAL) and is responsible for the Coop Group's annual report and McDonald's Switzerland's sustainability report, among others.
Lea Schindler has a Master of Arts in Communication Management (University of Technology, Sydney, Australia) and joined the agency in 2011. As a senior consultant and consumer goods specialist, she looks after clients such as Nespresso and McDonald's.
