Menu Drei consists of the two graphic designers Alexandra Nessler and Simon Kassewalder and the consultant Conny Willi. The three already know each other from their time together at an agency in Cham, where they worked for clients such as Ricola, Implenia, Roche, Canton Zug and Samnaun Tourism. "Even at our former place of work, we realized that we complemented each other perfectly," says Conny Willi.

The young agency has barely been founded and can already boast its first budget win. The bi-annual brochure for Scooter Fashion was redesigned and the overall appearance was given a soft redesign. And further work and implementations for other new customers are already on the menu, according to the agency. The agency sees the challenges not only in the CI/CD, but describes itself as an all-inclusive agency that offers and covers every requirement of today's communication, from branding and advertising to web presence and social media marketing.

The APGS looked back on various activities, including the "2037" dialog event with futurologist Birgit Gebhardt, the Toolbox Day at Google and various "Beer Cases" with APGS members as hosts. It is also involved in further education, particularly at the ADC/BSW Creative School, Sawi and the HWZ. Karin Frick, Head of Think Tank, opened the meeting with current insights and outlooks on the question "What impact does "Big Data" have on our social and economic ecosystems?".

In the new year, the APGS will continue its work with a stronger leadership team: Ester Elices and Gordon Nemitz were newly appointed to the Board of Directors. Rainer Bühler (President), Marco Casile (Vice President), David Schärer, Peter Schäfer and Marc Schumacher were confirmed. Pascal Schaub, co-founder and former President, has resigned from the Board.

Just like last year, the TV 2.0 Summit 2012 is completely sold out. One of the highlights was the mammoth panel discussion with Roger de Weck, Christoph Bauer, Christian Petit and Roger Schawinski. The date for the 2013 edition has already been set, according to Tv2summit.ch. The third edition will take place on November 28, 2013 - for the first time in the Kaufleuten Klubsaal.

To the videos

 

At the moment, a video from a Brazilian TV show is making the rounds around the world and spreading at an explosive rate. According to Uproxx.com "The Most Horrifying Prank Ever." With this type of hidden camera, the question "Do you get a joke?" is unnecessary. More appropriate would be "How much permanent damage will you do if we take a joke on you?"

It's nothing new to abuse the hidden camera for dubious purposes. The MTV show "Prank'd" already pushed the boundaries of tastelessness in the hunt for ratings and regularly brought the unwilling participants to the brink of a nervous breakdown. Every expert should be able to confirm that it is not necessarily good for your health to expose yourself to unnecessary shock experiences. Decide for yourself whether you find it funny or negligent. Kurt Felix, the father of the hidden camera, would probably be less pleased if he saw what the entertainment industry has done with his once charming idea. The question: Do they still broadcast in 4:3 format in Brazil? (hae)
 

Together, the two titles, whose publishing house is based in Copenhagen, have a distributed circulation of just under 350'000 copies and a readership of around 730'000. 20 Minuten intends to bring its experience in building successful commuter newspapers and online news platforms to the company and thus contribute to the further development of the Danish newspaper market, the company wrote in a statement on Wednesday.

This is reported by the TV magazines Tele and TV-Star in their latest issues, citing ARD sources. The reason: the bosses at Bayerischer Rundfunk no longer believe in Andy Borg's music show and want to pull out. And without German viewers, the show is no longer interesting for Switzerland and its artists.

However, SRF is looking forward to the remaining two years - and above all to the planned "Stadl" live from India in 2014. "For SRF, the Musikantenstadl is an important event and an indispensable music show that carries the values of Switzerland out into the world," says SRF Head of Entertainment Christoph Gebel in a statement on the occasion of the contract extension.
 

The e-shop was integrated directly into the existing Page and is intended to make shopping a pleasant experience, as the agency writes in a press release. The store was designed so that purchases are not made directly via Wogg, but via the customer's own trusted furniture retailer. This complex process has been implemented in a simple and clear manner, according to the press release. The website was converted from Flash to HTML5 and optimized for tablets. The specially developed CMS allows Wogg to maintain the website and store single-handedly. In addition to Facebook, Pinterest was also integrated so that everyone can present their newly acquired designer piece to everyone.

 

"Many of the photographers I've come across recently are extending their productions to running pictures and want to make use of the possibilities of this new timeline. I go the other way. After 120-minute feature films all the way down to 5-second commercials, I am also interested in the rigid axis and the compression of content into a single image. Capturing moments in a single image is a completely new and fascinating experience for me," explains Reiner Roduner. On Monday, the man from Absolutturnus Film, who has been in motion up to now, invited guests to his first vernissage with photos at the Christophe Guye Gallery in Zurich. On display in Dufourstrasse were pictures that Roduner has taken over the last two years on his travels in Vietnam, Ethiopia, New Zealand, the USA, India and Europe. Over a hundred guests showed great interest. More than ten also wanted to buy pictures, which caused Roduner to improvise a little. "The event was actually only intended as an early Christmas aperitif for friends..." (pan)

 

According to the announcement, this is to be one of the highlights of the site. With various small "specials," the match center is supposed to stand out from similar online services and keep users up to date on all the games by every trick in the book. The concept prevailed in the final pitch round against two other agencies.
 

According to the imprint, however, the number "could be significantly reduced. This was "thanks to the great solidarity among the members of the editorial team. This included, among other things, staff reductions. For those who will be laid off, an acceptable social plan has been worked out, Impressum wrote further. The association took part in the negotiations with the management of the French-speaking Swiss daily Le Temps as a representative of the employees. "The support for the dismissed persons can be described as correct in view of the economic situation of the company," the communiqué said. Imprint, however, expressed "concern about the possible impact of the layoffs on editorial quality."

Le Temps had announced in mid-November that it was laying off 18 employees due to economic difficulties (Werbewoche.ch reported). The round of cost-cutting will have an impact on the journalistic offering, said Director Valérie Boagno at the time. (SDA)
