Ringier Switzerland is reorganizing and bundling its digital media activities. The former New Media division is being reorganized. The succession of Christoph Bauer, who will continue to organize the New Media division until the end of the year, has thus also been settled.
The Group is establishing a new Digital Media division, whose main task will be to develop and expand international, transaction-based business activities. The new unit will be organizationally integrated into the Business Development division at Group level, which will ensure optimal support for cross-border projects, according to a Ringier press release. The head of the new Digital Media unit is Thomas Huwiler, who most recently headed the Media Site Center department at Ringier. The business platform cash will now report directly to the Managing Director of Ringier Switzerland, Marc Walder. The former Publishing Director of cash, Dietrich Berg, will become the new Managing Director of Anzeiger/Zeitschriften/Buchverlag at AZ Medien on October 1. His responsibilities will be taken over by the Managing Director of cash, André Michel. Dietrich Berg was Publishing Director of the Blick Group at Ringier from 2005. In 2007 and 2008, he was responsible for the Magazine Reader Market division and took over as Publishing Director of cash in 2008.
All the business units mentioned were previously organized in the New Media division under Christoph Bauer, who will become the new CEO of AZ Medien at the beginning of 2010. The reorganization of the New Media division has been completed with the integration into the Entertainment, Electronic Media and Events and Digital Media divisions. The new Digital Media unit is to become an independent division at Ringier Group level at a later date. The management of this unit has not yet been defined
