Media partnership: Energy and Grasshopper Club
Energy Zürich and the Grasshopper Club Zürich are entering into a media partnership for the next three years. The collaboration will begin with the 2025–26 season and will ensure the radio station a strong presence within the community of the historic Zurich soccer club.
The partnership enables Energy Zurich and Grasshopper Club Zurich to expand their network and organize exclusive customer events. Among other things, VIP experiences are planned around GCZ's home matches at Letzigrund Stadium, which are specially designed for business partners and sponsors. The partnership demonstrates the club's efforts to strengthen its local roots and pursue innovative approaches.
With this cooperation, Energy is underlining its ambition to be more present in the sports landscape, having already entered into partnerships with the Bernese Young Boys, FC Basel and SC Bern. Like all partnerships, the partnership with Grasshopper Club Zürich focuses on advertising volume and is not of an editorial nature. Reporting on Grasshopper Club Zurich will continue to be neutral and to the same extent as for the second Zurich city club. Energy Zurich is generally open to further cooperation in the world of sport.
Thierry Furrer, Chief Revenue Officer of Energy Switzerland, is delighted: "This media partnership opens up new ways for us to present our brand right in the heart of Zurich. We are very much looking forward to working with GCZ."
GCZ Chief Business Officer Christoph Urech comments: "We are very proud to have Energy Zürich, such an important media partner with strong roots in our city, at our side. This partnership unites two traditional brands that are both deeply rooted in Zurich and opens up exciting new opportunities in the commercial sector. We see this as a win-win situation from which both companies will benefit in the long term"
