635 newly qualified marketing planners received their federal diplomas on June 28, 2008. The award ceremony took place in a festive setting in the Kursaal in Bern. This year, 913 participants completed the examination, of which 635 (69.7 percent) passed. What's more, the overall grade average of 4.32 is the best ever. The Swiss economy can therefore look forward to highly qualified employees, writes the Swiss Marketing Association in a press release on Wednesday.
Seven of the ten top scorers are women. And among the five top scorers, who all come from German-speaking Switzerland, the women have the upper hand: Patrik Zeder from Bern (score 5.2), Christoph Amgwerd from Wohlen/AG (5.1), Muriel Kern from Zurich (5.1), Andrea Rufener from Fraubrunnen/BE (5.1) and Katharina Käppeli from Zurich (5.1). The federal certificate as a marketing planner is intended to convey the certainty that its holder is capable of holding a management position in the marketing sector.
At the end of the event, Alain Jaccard was given a heartfelt vote of thanks by his successor Andreas Balazs after five years as Chairman of the Audit Committee.
