Furrerhugi opens new office in Lausanne
The owner-managed agency Furrerhugi, which specializes in public affairs and corporate communications, is expanding its presence in French-speaking Switzerland. On Monday evening, it opened its new office in Lausanne with about sixty guests from the worlds of politics and business in attendance.
Furrerhugi was founded in 2006 by Lorenz Furrer and Andreas Hugi in Bern and operates additional offices in Zurich and Brussels. With the opening of its new office in Lausanne, the number two Swiss PR agency is further expanding its national presence. The agency has already been represented in French-speaking Switzerland for a year by Cédric Alber. It was able to recruit the former head of cabinet of Geneva State Councilor Pierre Maudet to further develop the agency.
The Lausanne office already has four employees: Cédric Alber (Senior Consultant), Mehregan Joseph (Consultant), Noémie Perrier (Junior Consultant) and Simon Zurich (Junior Consultant). They are regularly present at the other locations or involve employees from German-speaking Switzerland in the projects. This is in order to share know-how and working methods and to exploit synergies wherever possible. "With this new, strong anchoring in French-speaking Switzerland, we can offer our clients national coverage," says a pleased Lorenz Furrer, Managing Partner.
The Furrerhugi agency, which specializes in public affairs, also has extensive expertise in the field of corporate communications. "These include strategic communications consulting, media relations, marketing communications, event organization, crisis communications or support for election and voting campaigns," explains Andreas Hugi, Managing Partner.
