Sebastian Durband moves to Equipe

Durband entered the world of advertising in 1997 while studying journalism in Zurich. After moving to Frankfurt am Main, he worked alongside the well-known creativity researcher Hermann Vaske on book and film projects for global luminaries such as Dennis Hopper, Harvey Keitel, Damien Hirst, Steven Spielberg and the Dalai Lama. He then trained as an advertising and marketing specialist at the Bavarian Academy for Advertising and Marketing BAW in Munich. This was followed by two years in the Strategy and Acquisition department at Serviceplan in Munich, which was already the largest owner-managed agency in Germany at the time.

After his return to Switzerland, other creative agencies such as Euro RSCG (now Havas) and Jung von Matt/Limmat followed. At Jung von Matt, where he managed the mandates of Swisscom, Panasonic and Vögele Shoes for many years, Durband already worked with Equipe CEO Matthias Adolf and ECD Claude Eberhard. He later moved to Ruf Lanz, where as Head of Consulting he was responsible for the entire client portfolio, including Suva, Swissmilk, Publisuisse and Hiltl. For the last two years, Durband successfully built up his custom workshop for motorcycles in his home region of Graubünden, while at the same time working as an independent communications consultant for various product launches in Switzerland and abroad.

Matthias Adolf on the new appointment: "We are delighted to have Sebastian on board. Both our team of consultants and our clients will benefit enormously from his almost 20 years of agency experience."
