David Affentranger leaves Swiss Television
David Affentranger, Head of Media Relations and Press Officer, will be leaving Swiss Television in the fall of 2010. In light of the upcoming restructuring of the Communications and Marketing department—and Media Relations in particular—he has decided to pursue a new career path.
Affentranger began his career at Swiss Television in 2005 as a project manager in Media Relations, according to a press release issued Wednesday. There, he primarily oversaw major projects such as «Traumjob,» «Der Match,» and «Das Internat – Schule wie vor 50 Jahren.» Starting in 2007, he served as deputy head of Media Relations and also took over as head of SF’s customer service department. In May 2008, David Affentranger was appointed head of Media Relations. In this role, he was responsible for all of SF’s program communications and managed a team of six employees. In addition, he served as media spokesperson and was responsible for advising and supporting all editorial directors and hosts.
Before joining SF, David Affentranger worked as a communications consultant and media spokesperson for the Department of Public Works of the Canton of Zurich. During that time, he successfully completed his training to become a federally certified PR consultant. He learned the ins and outs of public relations from the ground up at the two communications agencies Trimedia Communications Zurich and L&W Marcom.
