Phase 4 now also in Zurich

The Munich-based multimedia agency Phase 4 Communications GmbH has founded a Zurich branch office, headed by Boris Jacklowsky, who worked as production manager at Pixelpark for five years before joining Phase 4 as IT manager in 1999. The new office's first client is Rialto Film AG. Phase 4 Communications, which is located on Biberlinstrasse on the Zürichberg, is developing a B2B website for them together with the Swiss agency Getunik. "The Swiss market is ideal for us," says Peter Wolf, Managing Director of the German Phase 4. "Many companies from the financial and media sector, in which we have been able to build up particular expertise, are based here." That is why the company in Zwingli wants to concentrate on customers from these sectors. In Germany, Phase 4 counts Allianz and Hypovereinsbank among its major clients. For the latter, the company designed and implemented the current website as lead agency. In the last financial year, turnover increased by a good 50 percent to over six million DM. The agency currently employs 35 people. With the branch office in Zurich, Phase 4 is represented abroad for the first time. (dz)
