"Advertiser of the Year" 2019: These are the nominees
The jury of experts has decided: The nominees for "Advertiser of the Year" and "Advertiser of the Year" are Roman Geiser, Farner Consulting, David Schärer, Rod Kommunikation, and Petra Dreyfus, Wirz Communications.
The die is cast: The top-class "Advertiser of the Year" jury has met and this year is sending a lot of competence, strategic cleverness and entrepreneurial know-how into the race for the most important personal award in the Swiss advertising and communications industry. Petra Dreyfus, Co-CEO and COO of Wirz Communications, Roman Geiser, CEO and Managing Partner of Farner Consulting and David Schärer, founding partner of Rod Kommunikation. All three are broadly networked and shape the development of a changing communications world in their various commitments to the industry - for example, on the LSA board or as lecturers.
