Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the renowned Bern-based advertising agency and with retroactive effect from January 1, 2024, the two long-standing co-managing directors, Client Service Director Corinne Hert and Creative Director Jeff Gerber, are acquiring 100 percent of the shares in the Bern-based LSA agency Komet by means of a management buyout.

"It was time and the logical next step for the agency as well as for our personal development," says Corinne Hert. Jeff Gerber adds: "Komet has a solid foundation and has been able to provide communications support for many exciting brands, services and products. But we will not stand still and are looking forward to opening the next chapter in the agency's 25-year success story."
