Contexta: Started the year with new creatives and new mandates
Contexta is bringing in reinforcements: Creative Directors John Leuppi and Sascha Fanetti have joined the creative team led by Bene Abegglen and Moritz Stähelin. They will serve in separate roles at the Bern-based agency as CD Text and CD Art. Most recently, the two were under contract at the Zurich branch of the Saatchi & Saatchi agency.
Contexta is getting reinforcements: Creative Directors John Leuppi and Sascha Fanetti are joining the Krea team around Bene Abegglen and Moritz Stähelin. They work separately at the Bern agency as CD Text and CD Art. Most recently, the two were under contract with the Zurich branch of the Saatchi & Saatchi agency. However, they have already vacated their workplace there. A temporary successor is already sitting in the office in Zurich's Kreis 4. It was only in the middle of last year that they enthusiastically took up their work there (read the interview with Saatchi & Saatchi CEO Kaspar Loeb).
Leuppi and Fanetti have been working as a team for several years. Previously, Wirz Werbung and the Daniel Matter agency were other joint stations.
It has been learned that Contexta's creative department is to be further restructured and expanded in the near future. Bene Abegglen, Creative Partner of the Contexta agency, confirmed Werbewoche's research on Friday: "Leuppi and Fanetti have been with us since the beginning of the year. We are currently investing heavily in creation. We believe in creative advertising and creative minds," Abegglen explained, shortly before traveling to Cape Town for a shoot. He also confirmed that this upgrade is not just happening out of the blue: "Yes, we have been able to win new mandates as well as increase current mandates." However, he did not want to say anything more specific about this yet. He added that the agency would provide information about the new developments within the next two weeks.
At the moment, the agency, which has almost 50 employees, is also looking for an art director and a copywriter.
