Auto-Illustrierte: Jörg Petersen new editor-in-chief
Auto-Illustrierte is on track. As part of the previously announced change in publishers, Jörg Petersen will take over as editor-in-chief from his predecessor, Andreas Faust, effective September 1. Patrick Frey is the new sales director.
The 55-year-old Petersen has been working for the Swiss car magazine for around 20 years, with a brief interruption. Together with Michael Lux, who has been an editor at Auto-illustrierte for four years, Petersen forms the core editorial team and reports directly to publishing house owner and author Mathias R. Albert. A large number of freelance journalists and photographers will supplement the editorial team, according to the press release. "I am looking forward to the new challenge and would like to thank my predecessor Andreas Faust for his work," says Petersen. "During his time as editor-in-chief of Auto-Illustrierte, he provided important impetus and put the magazine on a new footing with an appropriate and fresh layout. This must be continued and expanded in the future."
The advertising department will also start under new management on September 1: Patrick Frey will be the new Head of Sales and can look back on more than 20 years of experience. He previously held similar positions at various companies in Switzerland. Born in Switzerland, Frey wants to provide new impetus with cross-media offers and innovative marketing ideas. "The current media data is already being sent out this week," says Frey. "The website Car-illustrated.ch is already online today under the new CI." The next printed edition will be published on 25.09.2015.
