Three become one: Clubs merge to form "Swiss Marketing Zurich

This was short and painless - in the best sense of the word: it took less than an hour for the old members of the Swiss Marketing sub-organizations "Club Zurich West", "Club Zurich" and "Club Marketing Manager Zurich" to reconstitute themselves as "Swiss Marketing Zurich".According to the day's president Dietger Löffler from the central board, the merger is intended to create synergies and make the Zurich voice heard even more clearly at national level.

New board unanimously elected to office

Those present from among the 320 professionals who now belong to "Swiss Marketing Zurich" also unanimously elected their new board. This is divided into the following departments:- Member Services: Davide Abbamonte (Sales and Marketing Manager), Barbara Litschi (Key Account Manager)- Events: Martine Ayer (Brand Activator), Barbara Berger (Program Manager), Julia Bryner (Head of Marketing & Events), Angela Grandjean (Senior Marketing Manager)- Finance: Alexander J. Brosi (Chief Financial Officer), Christian Trixl (Country Head Investments), Felix Huber (Sales &Segment Manager Private Banking)- Communication / Media: Gebi Bischoff (Owner Web Agency), Cornelia Brunschwiler (Publishing Manager), Nicole Pfammatter (Head of Department), Dominique Schaffner (Marketing Manager, elected in absentia)Peter P. Held, Andreas Bommel and Marc Werlen were unanimously appointed as auditors.

A president is still missing

This means that "Swiss Marketing Zürich" is powerfully positioned - only the "highest" office, the presidency, remains unoccupied so far. Here, however, according to the president of the day, Dietger Löffler, one does not want to hurry too much: "There is no reason to rush things, we prove courage to the gap in the short term," said Löffler.In order to find a suitable person, a commission has been appointed, which accepts proposals from the ranks of Swiss Marketing members. "I am sure," Dietger Löffler continued, "that we will be allowed to present someone by the next ordinary general meeting in March 2019."

Exuberant mood at the after party

So the one vacant position was no cause for sadness: At the subsequent founding party of "Swiss Marketing Zurich", the members of the formerly separate clubs got to know each other, were able to network and enjoy live music. Zurich's "Lakeside" provided the ideal setting for this.
