IGEM: Two new members on the Board of Directors
The 2010 general meeting of the Electronic Media Interest Group (IGEM) elected two new board members: Chris Flückiger of Mediatonic and Alexander Horrolt of Publicitas Cinecom. Urs Renner of Wemf stepped down after twelve years.
With Chris Flückiger of the Geneva-based media agency Mediatonic, a board member from French-speaking Switzerland was elected for the first time. He replaces Urs Renner, who had served on the board since IGEM’s founding twelve years ago and had chaired IGEM from 2000 to 2006. The newly elected Alexander Horrolt replaces Tim Dührkoop, who has left Publicitas Cinecom. The statutory business of the general meeting, which took place in the sports studio of Swiss Television, was quickly concluded, as IGEM reported. All motions put forward by the Executive Board were approved unanimously. President Stephan Küng and the Executive Board members standing for reelection were also unanimously confirmed for another one-year term. In his annual review, President Stephan Küng highlighted several key areas of the past year, such as the planned Disclosure of PIN Information for planning TV campaigns, which kept the Executive Board busy over a total of eight meetings. Stefan Wagner and Jean Brogle from SRG’s Sports Business Unit also provided a behind-the-scenes look at the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
