Andrea Hemmi is the new Head of Corporate Communications at McDonald’s Switzerland
Andrea Hemmi is the new Head of Corporate Communications at McDonald's SwitzerlandHead of the week "I enjoy the francophone lightness "Andrea Hemmi's first relationship with fast food giant McDonald's dates back to her childhood. When the first branch of the hamburger roaster opened in Lausanne, Andrea discovered the cheeseburger, which remains her favorite to this day, while visiting relatives in French-speaking Switzerland. At Trimedia, Andrea Hemmi got to know the many facets of McDonald's as a consultant, so that today, as Head of Corporate Communications for the happy meal provider, she is joining a company that she already knows quite well.
At the moment, she is still commuting between Zurich and Lausanne, rushing from one meeting to the next to familiarize herself with her new role. Despite the hectic pace, she enjoys, as she puts it, the francophone lightness that has accompanied her work since mid-March. Hemmi sees the fact that the company is located in French-speaking Switzerland as an added bonus. Andrea Hemmi values McDonald's as an employer above all because the company is innovative, continues to develop, has made a difference in the public eye, is close to its customers and has a strong image. Andrea Hemmi wants McDonald's to cultivate an information style that treats all parts of the country equally.
The author of "Flamingoküsse" will have to put her writing on the back burner in the future. Although even as a little girl she was eager to use her index finger system to write and let her imagination flow into little stories, Andrea Hemmi cannot imagine working as a professional author. She is convinced that it would be too much backbreaking work and certainly not as much fun. Writing should remain her hobby. She has not ruled out writing another book, but Hemmi does not want to be tied down to one topic. At the moment, her head is filled with other things than new novel projects anyway, she reveals. What's more, she wants to delve deeper into the French and English languages - and not just for professional reasons.
Although she had appreciated the versatility of the consultancy job at Trimedia, she wanted to get closer to the media front in order to maintain direct contact with the public. She was also passionate about doing this for her former employer, TV 3, whose abrupt end kept the press spokeswoman busy for a long time. Although she always kept the worst-case scenario in mind, she was surprised at the emotions the end of the station triggered in her, she says, looking back on the debacle in downtown Schlieren.
