Sven Berther has spent the past four years as Key Account Manager at event and film service provider Habegger, as the agency writes in a press release on Thursday.

Condor BB/A stands for Condor Bewegtbild-Agentur. The division of Condor Films, which operated as Condor Corporate until last year, has been offering services in the entire moving image segment for direct customers and in partnership with agencies for a growing number of customers since 2008.
 

The 44-year-old succeeds Markus Mehr, who has decided to leave the Swiss family at the end of May to take on a new challenge. Annemarie Ita joined Tamedia in 1993 as a sales consultant for the printing center and later took over as head of sales. In 1998, the trained typesetter and marketing specialist moved to Werdstrasse as Head of Production Magazines and Customer Printing, before being appointed Head of the Production Services department in 2004.

Annemarie Ita's successor at Production Services will be announced in due course, according to the press release.
 

For example, the reader of the business section learns all about the efficiency aspects of the sedan, as the agency writes in a statement.

Unfortunately, the Swiss television market is very regulated, which makes it difficult to enter with a new station, Walder said at a media conference, according to the SDA news agency. A takeover is therefore more likely, he said. He already has two stations "on the radar," Walder added. Theoretically, the channels 3+ and Tele Züri would come into question. The Ringier boss did not want to give any further details on this subject. Tele Züri belongs to the Zurich media company Tamedia and has not been able to shine with good results in recent years.

A liaison between Ringier and Tele Züri would at least be a kind of revival: Ringier, Roger Schawinski and Tamedia each held a 33 percent stake in the station until May 1999, when publisher Michael Ringier even sat on the Tele Züri board of directors. Due to disputes between Tamedia and Schawinski, the further development of the Zurich local station was blocked, which is why Ringier left.

Their stage is a modernized design concept, and they are accompanied by "lively headlines", the agency said in a press release. The aim: to keep the zoo in the spotlight and remind the people of Zurich that they can make many exciting discoveries on the Zürichberg.

Responsible at Zurich Zoo: Alex Rübel (Zoo Director), Markus Rege (Head of Marketing), Responsible at Lesch+Frei Zurich: Peter Lesch (CD), Thomas Lüber (CD and text), Matthias Kadlubsky (AD), Irene Stutz (consulting), Barbara Meier, Désirée Guzzo (polygraphy). Responsible for the realization: Enzo Franchini, Edi Day, Karsten Blum (photography), Felix Schregenberger (image processing).

Parallel to the exhibition at Ewz-Unterwerk Selnau, numerous events will take place, such as the Portfolio Days, a platform for photographers looking for clients, or the Sofagepräche, where photographers will provide insight into their portfolios and their work. Professionals and photo aficionados can then take a closer look at the places where photography is made or marketed during the Open Days: for the first time, photographers open their studios, and clients such as agencies or photo editors open their offices to the interested public. At Unterwerk Selnau, Bank Julius Baer will present selected photographic works from its art collection, and The Impossible Project will show works by Swiss photographers on the new Impossible Polaroid films.

The evening program brings the public and photographers into contact with portfolio evenings, and renowned stars of today's photography, including Hannes Schmid,Paolo Pellegrin, Timothy Persons and Joachim Baldauf, present themselves at picture soirées.

The agency from Kreis 8 will take care of all communication matters relating to the Markthalle's product range, as detailed in a press release. In a first step, this will primarily involve targeted and regular media and event work. However, Erni will also be the interface for one-off seasonal campaigns by external producers and will try to integrate and anchor the surrounding districts more firmly in the Markthalle. Readings and concerts are also planned, an information stand will be set up and, last but not least, social media work will also be tackled. The PWG Foundation is responsible for the umbrella brand Im Viadukt, which encompasses the entire Viadukt.
 

Tamedia Publishing announced this on Wednesday. According to Tamedia, the decision to discontinue free delivery was made due to declining usage of this TV magazine. The growth of digital information sources, such as the Internet and TV guides, contributed to this trend. However, many readers of daily newspapers had previously received 'TV täglich” more than once, often along with other magazines such as “Schweizer Illustrierte,” “Schweizer Familie,” “Glückspost,” “Leben&Glauben,” and “Sonntag.” The TV supplement will continue to be included with these publications. According to Tamedia, the circulation of “TV täglich” now stands at around 650,000 copies per week. (SDA)
 

"It's a big challenge," 42-year-old Michel told the SDA news agency on Wednesday. You only get an opportunity like this once in a lifetime. Michel is thus confirming reports from the two daily newspapers Tribune de Genève and 24 Heures.

Serge Michel, who comes from the canton of Vaud, will be responsible at Le Monde for strengthening cooperation between the editorial teams of the print edition and the Internet. Born in 1969 in Yverdon-les-Bains VD, Michel began his career as a freelance journalist reporting from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. He later worked as a Zurich correspondent for Nouveau quotidien. Further stations in his career as a journalist were Tehran, Belgrade and West Africa. In 2001, the then 32-year-old received the Albert Londres Prize, France's most prestigious journalism award. He later worked as head of foreign affairs at the French-speaking Swiss weekly L'hebdo and from 2010 he was deputy editor-in-chief at Le Temps. (SDA)
