Two new partners at Farner Consulting

The current partners of Farner Consulting, Christian König (Chairman), Roman Geiser (CEO & Managing Partner), Jacqueline Moeri, Daniel Heller, Urs Knapp and Michel Grunder, welcome two new personalities to the partnership, Daniel Jörg and Frédéric Jacquemoud, who have played a key role in shaping the agency in strategic positions since 2012 and are both members of the Executive Board.

Frédéric Jacquemoud joined Farner in 2012 and is responsible for Farner's activities in French-speaking Switzerland. The Swiss-American dual citizen, who grew up in Geneva, has deep roots in French-speaking Switzerland. He has been contributing his broad consulting experience in the areas of finance, business and politics as well as his previous management experience in a communications agency to the agency since 2012. The Farner team in Lausanne/Geneva has grown continuously under his leadership and is one of the leading providers of communication services in French-speaking Switzerland. With Frédéric Jacquemoud as a partner, Farner Consulting intends to emphasize the importance of French-speaking Switzerland in the agency's strategy and its claim to be a leading national communications player.

After studying humanities at the University of Geneva, graduating from the elite French university Sciences-Po Paris (IEP) and completing a diploma in business management at the Cnam-Intec Institute in Paris, Frédéric Jacquemoud began his professional career at Publicis Consultants in Paris, where he worked for several years. Back in Geneva, he worked for PublicisLive with international clients such as the UN and the United Arab Emirates, as well as Swiss clients, before becoming a partner in an independent communications agency in Geneva. In 2012, he joined Farner, where he took over the management of the French-speaking Swiss activities with offices in Lausanne and Geneva.

Daniel Jörg also joined Farner in 2012 as a Digital Strategist and member of the Executive Board. In addition to his role as Digital Strategist for the agency as a whole, he has since built up a market division for Farner specializing in cross-media and digital communication. Under his leadership, the agency's digital offering has undergone significant further development; today it continues to grow strongly at the interfaces of cross-media conception, community management, content services, online campaigning and social media advertising. Daniel Jörg joins the Farner partnership as a communications professional who has shaped the digital transformation in the communications industry at a national and international level and has driven forward the integration of online communications into all of Farner's services.

Daniel Jörg entered the world of communications after studying journalism and media studies, business administration and international relations at the University of Zurich, where he set up one of the first online units in the Swiss PR industry 15 years ago at what was then Peter Bütikofer & Company. He then worked as a consultant at a large Bernese advertising agency, where he rounded off his communications consultancy profile with classic advertising expertise. Before joining Farner, Daniel Jörg was a digital strategist and head of the digital competence team at Burson-Marsteller in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa). In this role, Daniel Jörg led Burson-Marsteller's digital strategy across the region. Prior to this, he was a member of the Executive Board & Head of Crossmedia at Burson-Marsteller Switzerland from 2008 to 2010.
