Daniel Weick will take over the management of the Basel Publicitas branch on June 1. He succeeds Regional Director René Gehrig, who currently holds the position of branch manager in a dual mandate.
Weick was already Product Manager at Publicitas from 1983 to 1988. Later, the Basel native moved to Swiss Bank Corporation (now UBS) and was then Director of the Baslerstab newspaper for eleven years before returning to P as Head of Sales in December 2008.
In addition to day-to-day business, Regional Director René Gehrig will in future be heavily involved in publisher contracts. He is quoted in a press release issued on Thursday as saying that there is great interest from publishers in the new Publicitas business model. The handover to Daniel Weick will allow him to drive the project forward even more intensively and with all his energy in the entire central region, from Basel to Ticino.
In the meantime, telemarketing is to be intensified in Basel as part of an intensified marketing campaign. At the same time, the counter on Nauenstrasse will be closed at the end of April 2009 and the counter business will be concentrated at the Kornhausgasse branch. A solution is being sought within the company for two of the employees affected, P writes in its press release.
