Markus Ehrle of APG|SGA will take over as chair of AWS Aussenwerbung Schweiz, and Gregor Zimmerli of Aktiv-Werbung will join the board. Baracom and SPR+ are joining as new member companies.

- Markus Ehrle, APG|SGA AG, Chairman
- Christoph Marty, Clear Channel Switzerland, Vice President
- Beat Holenstein, APG|SGA AG
- Urs Zeier, Clear Channel Switzerland
- Gregor Zimmerli, Akiv Advertising
Markus Ehrle replaces Daniel Hofer as President, who is stepping down both as President and from the Board. The resignation is due to his increased involvement abroad with JCDecaux. He will be replaced on the Board by Gregor Zimmerli. The current board members Christoph Marty, Beat Holenstein and Urs Zeier were re-elected.
Baracom and SPR+ - Swiss Poster Research Plus were newly admitted as members of the association.
The new president, Markus Ehrle, is pleased with the increase in membership, the expansion of the board, the continuing positive market development and the dynamics in the outdoor advertising market in Switzerland. Despite intense competition among suppliers, the aim is to advance common interests such as genre marketing and the development of research data and tools. It is also important to work together against (further) advertising bans and in favor of liberal legislation, said Ehrle.
