Milo is supposed to revive the "store around the corner" and have an integrative effect as a protagonist in culturally heterogeneous Switzerland. Milo is a warm person, helpful and open to all customers' needs, the advertisers describe Milo's character. "Milo is just a pleasure to have around... he is apolitical, funny, sometimes a bit awkward but still quick-witted." The national campaign includes all advertising media in the communication mix for Migrolino's brand building: TV campaign, print and posters as well as POS and PR event. The TV campaign was realized by Manifesto Films under the direction of Reto Salimbeni.

Directly behind "weather" comes the term "route planner" in second place, which incidentally was in the same position last year. Other top hits include eroticism, body mass index and lottery. Are these the topics that people searching on the Internet are most interested in? In addition to the names of various stars and sportspeople, keywords from the news sector can also be found. Unsurprisingly, "swine flu" was the most frequently typed search term in 2009. There remains a ray of hope: The search term "Wikipedia" improved by four places compared to 2008 and landed in third place this time.

The weekly newspaper will be based on the editorial concept of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung (FAS) and is intended to reach readers between the ages of 16 and 30, according to the statement. Whether and when the publisher will launch the young newspaper depends on the results of the market researchers. Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday could be considered as publication days. Sunday has been ruled out so as not to compete with the FAS.

This time, however, the image is turned into a positive one. With the styled gorilla gigolo, the advertisers want to metaphorically bring the French-speaking Swiss down from the trees, without dispensing with the tongue-in-cheek provocation. The monkeys can be seen on advertisements and in personalized mailings.

Several parliamentarians from Latin-speaking Switzerland had expressed concern about the planned job cuts at SDA, which would hit the French- and Italian-speaking editorial offices particularly hard. They wanted to know from the Federal Council how it intends to support the threatened solidarity between the language regions. The Swiss Confederation does not subsidize the SDA and cannot intervene in its corporate policy, said Casanova. As a customer, however, it does have expectations of SDA. As part of the renegotiation of the contract, which expires in 2010, the quality of the various language services will be closely examined. A new contract could, if necessary, provide for financial consequences in the event of a decline in quality. However, there are no plans to increase the contribution to the SDA, especially as the Confederation itself has to make savings.
SDA, which is owned by Swiss publishers, announced 13 job cuts in mid-November. The reason for this is an impending 14 percent drop in turnover in the coming year and an expected deficit of two million francs. Five jobs are to be cut in the German-language editorial department, 6.5 in the French-language department and 1.5 in the Italian-language department. Three regional editorial offices will also be closed.

The brief is to revise and simplify the corporate design introduced in 2004 in order to further increase the conciseness of the corporate identity and the efficiency of its application. The different requirements of the three national subsidiaries in Switzerland, France and Germany are to be given particular consideration in the development.

The price increase has become necessary because the costs of production and distribution have risen continuously, the newspaper informs its readers on the front page. Since the relaunch in mid-October, the paper has also invested in the larger format, the two-bundle concept and better paper, among other things.
