Nr Swiss and Pressrelations merge
After four years of collaboration, the two partners, Nr Swiss and Pressrelations, are merging under the umbrella brand Pressrelations. The full-service provider of media monitoring and reputation analysis has more than 700 clients and over 200 employees at eleven locations worldwide.
GianCarlo Bianchi and Katrin Frei jointly take over the new management of the newly named Pressrelations Schweiz AG. Both also strengthen the management board of the group of companies in Düsseldorf. The former Nr-Swiss Managing Director Nikolaus Zumbusch moves to the Board of Directors of Pressrelations Schweiz.
"The merger of the two companies is the logical consequence after more than four years of successful cooperation. We look forward to benefiting even more from the high Swiss quality standards in the future," Press Relations Managing Director Jens Schmitz was quoted as saying in a statement.
The declared goal of the merged media intelligence providers is to bundle their technology and consulting expertise. "This means that the specific customer requirements from Switzerland will now also be given significantly more weight in the further development of the proven monitoring and analysis portal NewsRadar," explains Managing Director Katrin Frei. Thus, the joint development of a virtual newsroom solution will be further advanced and additional tools and interfaces will be implemented in the in-house NewsRadar technology.
Pressrelations Switzerland now offers customers a much larger media set and has access to considerably more resources and international expertise. In addition, the Swiss team will be strengthened this year and both locations in Stans and Zurich will be further expanded. "Being part of a global network and a new member of AMEC, FIBEP and GMI Alliance will also provide us with numerous advantages and new opportunities to further improve our products and services," elaborates Managing Director GianCarlo Bianchi.
Pressrelations is also a partner of ComImpact, an association founded in February 2021 to promote comm-tech skills in the communications industry in Switzerland.
