Head of Communications Peter Küng leaves Migros Basel

 
Peter Küng, Head of Communications at Migros Basel, is leaving the company at the end of June. The new head of PR + Culture at the regional Migros cooperative will be Dieter Wullschleger, a Basel-based advertising and communications specialist. The management complies with Küng's wish for early retirement to allow him to be independent professionally, Migros Basel announced Wednesday, according to SDA. Küng plans to work in the future with his company KMU Küng Medien Unternehmung as a media consultant for companies and in the event and sponsorship sector. The 60-year-old has headed the PR + Culture department of Migros Basel since 1990. Previously, he worked as a journalist for Solothurn cable television KRS, Blick and local radio stations Basilisk and Raurach, among others.
Dieter Wullschleger will take over from Küng at the beginning of August. Among other things, Wullschleger had built up an advertising and communications agency and was temporarily managing director of the Basel free newspapers Vogel Gryff and Baslerstab.
