Dachcom creates new image for Lampert Druckzentrum

Dachcomm has designed a completely new corporate identity for the Lampert printing center. The new corporate design reflects the development of the traditional Vaduz company from a small print shop to a high-tech printing center with the first climate-neutral printing press in Liechtenstein and is also intended to reflect the future-oriented visions of the owner.

In addition to the new brand, Dachcom also created image advertisements, posters and an image brochure. The aim is to publicize the new corporate design and promote the company's image. The advertising materials for the campaign are image brochures, advertisements, F12 posters and bus signage.

SPRI : New postgraduate program

On August 13, 2010, the Swiss Public Relations Institute will launch its new postgraduate program, the CAS in Leadership and Consulting Skills in PR. This compact program focuses on management skills in PR.

The Swiss PR education scene is characterized by a constant stream of new degree courses, and the number of well-trained PR professionals is steadily increasing. At the same time, however, the PR industry is experiencing an increasing shortage of specialists with management know-how, a high level of consulting expertise and sufficient experience. In order to close this gap, the SPRI has developed the new postgraduate course "CAS Leadership and Consulting Competence in PR" together with the leading industry organizations. Thanks to the ongoing and close exchange with representatives of PR organizations, it is ensured that the content taught meets the needs of the industry as closely as possible, as the institute writes in a press release. In addition, various PR experts have been recruited as lecturers.
The course is explicitly recommended by the BPRA.

SRG: Federal Council rejects increase in reception fees

The Federal Council has rejected a fee increase for radio and television. While it acknowledges that the SRG needs more money, it believes the SRG should secure it through other means.

The Federal Council recalls, for example, the additional advertising time permitted. The SRG is expected to earn around CHF 6 million more as a result, as announced by the Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications on Friday. The Federal Council expects a much larger amount of CHF 64 million from the increasing number of fee payers. In particular, businesses that currently only pay part of the fees are to be asked to pay consistently.
In addition, the Federal Council is focusing primarily on cost-cutting measures. SRG should be able to save CHF 58 million per year. The annual instead of quarterly collection of fees should also cost CHF 10 million less. However, the government wants to spare consumers this time. It is recalling the last fee increase of 2.5 percent in 2007.
The Federal Council recognizes the additional financial requirements of SRG, which has claimed an average of CHF 168 million over the next four years. The Federal Council has recognized CHF 134.5 million of this, but rejected CHF 14 million for the restructuring of the pension fund.

More advertising on TV
SRG acknowledges that the Federal Council has largely recognized its additional financial requirements for the years 2011 to 2014 and has decided to liberalize advertising. SRG may now broadcast more advertising. With its decision on Friday, the Federal Council is now allowing SRG to use 15 percent instead of 8 percent of its broadcasting time for advertising. In addition, the SRG may interrupt its broadcasts outside prime time between 11 p.m. and 6 p.m. every 30 minutes for advertising. Furthermore, advertising interruptions are only permitted every 90 minutes during prime time.
The Board of Directors is expected to decide on further cost-cutting measures in August following a detailed analysis, taking into account both the revenue risks and the pension fund restructuring.
Allowing online advertising was also considered by the Federal Council. However, it fears a new competitive situation with the print media. Liberalization is therefore conditional on reaching an agreement with publishers on the framework conditions.
