Mission Anniversary: Valencia celebrates 20th birthday

Valencia Kommunikation took around 300 customers, employees and friends on a "Mission Anniversary" to celebrate its 20th anniversary on September 5. True to the motto, the crew welcomed their guests dressed in blue overalls at the club "Das Viertel" in Basel, which was transformed into a space station for one evening.

Valencia Communication celebrated the birthday not in Spain, but in space, so to speak. Of course, the home country was not forgotten: On the sun terrace, the agency fed its guests with Spanish specialties such as tortilla, paella Valenciana and grilled dishes. Despite the already somewhat autumnal temperatures, the agency and its guests celebrated with music and drinks until the early morning hours.

Since its founding in 1999, at that time still with five employees at the Muttenz location, the agency has developed in 20 years into one of the largest full-service agencies in Switzerland - with around 80 employees at the Basel and Zurich locations. In the meantime, the agency has become a real group: With Cab and Nueva, two subsidiaries have joined that are at home in the digital world. Valencia is also strengthening its digital expertise with a strategic investment in the startup Your Sidekicks. "We don't just go along with changes in the industry and innovations, we drive them forward," says Michael Gerber, CEO of Valencia Communication.
