Home comes to Zurich
In April, Heimat will open an independent branch in Zurich's Kreis 4. The Berlin-based parent agency is currently putting the team together.
How the Tages-Anzeiger writes, Heimat Zürich is to be managed by a Swiss team of three that has already been determined - the names are still being kept secret, as some of them still work at later competitor agencies. The entire team will comprise 16 people when it starts in April. In contrast to the job advertisements in Berlin, where at least four years of professional experience are required in the creative field, lateral entrants will also have a chance in Zurich. The first clients have already been acquired, co-owner Matthias von Bechtolsheim told Tages-Anzeiger.
Heimat is not new to the Swiss market. The Berlin agency has already been handling Swisscom's private customer advertising for three and a half years. Currently with Lara Gut as a tray driver, previously among other things with epic, paused Battles and Roger Moore as a normal store customer. Interestingly, Heimat does not want to manage the Swisscom budget from Zurich, but continues to keep these threads firmly in Berlin hands. (hae)
