Regula Bührer Fecker new on the Advisory Board of the EqualVoice Initiative
Rod co-founder Regula Bührer Fecker will join the Advisory Board of Ringier’s EqualVoice initiative effective February 1, 2021. The Zurich-based advertising executive is committed to promoting the advancement of young women in particular and wrote the book *#Frauenarbeit* on the topic in 2017.
The EqualVoice initiative launched by the Ringier Group is committed to making women more visible in media reporting and giving them the same voice as men. Publisher Michael Ringier and CEO Marc Walder chair the project, which was initiated by CFO Annabella Bassler.
The Advisory Board of the EqualVoice initiative has now been expanded to include 42-year-old Regula Bührer Fecker. The Zurich native has twice been crowned Advertiser of the Year (2010 and 2014). She is the author of the book #Women's Work, in which she gives young women specific tips on how they can successfully assert themselves in their careers (Werbewoche.ch reported). The mother of two is committed to the advancement of women and launched the inspirational platform #Women's Work, which she mainly uses on Instagram to find mentors.
In her agency podcast "Rodcast", she regularly talks to various personalities from the media and advertising industry. At the end of last year, she spoke to Ladina Heimgartner, Head of Global Media at Ringier, about the EqualVoice initiative, which she had heard about from Annabella Bassler, CFO at Ringier. Bührer Fecker will now be joining the initiative herself from February: "I am committed to making women's contribution to our society even more visible. Our media are the key to this. That's why I think EqualVoice is a strong and valuable initiative that I want to support wholeheartedly."
