Edelman launches office in Switzerland
The Zurich-based PR agency K Comms will become part of the privately held PR agency Edelman. Alexander Fink, the former CEO of K Comms, will head the newly established Edelman Switzerland.
In French-speaking Switzerland, the newly founded agency will continue to be represented by its previous partner, FTC Communication, in Lausanne, according to the announcement. K Comms currently employs seven people and was previously a local partner of the Ketchum Pleon network.
For Robert Phillips, CEO and President Edelman Emea, the expansion of the presence in Switzerland is an important strategic step: "We are pleased that with Alexander Fink's team we can now serve our existing international Swiss clients even better and thus offer national and international know-how from a single source." Alexander Fink, CEO of Edelman Switzerland and as of now new Practice Leader Corporate for Germany, Switzerland and Austria, is pleased about the integration into the Edelman network: "This is a milestone in the development of our agency and opens up new and attractive perspectives for clients and employees."
