Oliver Fennel leaves Rod
Oliver Fennel is leaving the Zurich-based agency Rod. Together with Regula Bührer Fecker and David Schärer, he founded the agency in 2007, and it has since become a major player in the Swiss agency landscape.
The decision is made for personal reasons: "Normally, my life is divided into intervals of seven years. After nine years on Rod, it's time for me to tackle something new," explains Oliver Fennel. He has concrete plans for the medium term, but nothing is ready to be announced yet. The art director had creatively shaped important works of Rod - for example for 20 Minuten, the Federal Office of Public Health, Ikea, Laax, Médecins sans Frontières, Mini, Sanitas, SBB or SRF. "Letting go of a partner and friend is of course difficult. We look back on nine great years and are very grateful to Oli for that. We are happy about his courage to take on something new," says David Schärer.
The agency Rod Kommunikation in Zurich-Enge has 25 employees from all major communication disciplines. With the departure of Oliver Fennel, the agency remains equally owned by the current partners Regula Bührer Fecker, Pablo Koerfer and David Schärer.
