Tincan Rapperswil Expands Its Agency Network
The creative and digital agency Tincan continues on its growth trajectory and is now expanding into Eastern Switzerland with the opening of Tincan Rapperswil. Since September 1, 2026, the agency has been operating out of its «Creative Factory» at the new location. Following its offices in Zug, Zurich, and Geneva, Tincan aims to provide even closer and more personalized support to clients in the region.
Greater closeness in a creative atmosphere
With the opening of the Creative Factory in Rapperswil, Tincan says it is responding to the growing need for a local presence in Eastern Switzerland. The new location, right next to the Jona train station, is intended to facilitate more direct, personal interaction, shorter travel distances, and greater flexibility in the implementation of campaigns and strategic projects.
Raphael Willi, a partner at Tincan, played a key role in establishing the Creative Factory: «The new location at Spinnereistrasse 29 is a perfect fit for Tincan: The old, loft-style factory building creates the ideal environment for inspiring client meetings and extraordinary campaigns.»
A wealth of agency expertise right on your doorstep
Nicoline Ineichen, a marketing consultant at Tincan, will oversee the strategic and operational expansion of the location. Close collaboration with the existing locations will ensure that the agency’s full range of services is offered seamlessly from the new hub as well: from strategy, marketing, social media, and branding to artificial intelligence, apps, and process automation, as well as photo, video, and podcast productions.
«I’m really looking forward to inspiring Eastern Switzerland with our missions,» says Nicoline Ineichen about her new role as site manager. «We’re ready to continue being creative from Rapperswil and to make a big difference together with our existing and new partners.»
According to its own description, Tincan is a creative and digital agency active in the areas of strategic marketing, digital creation, online marketing, and visual content. The team consists of about 50 Tincanauts and supports clients across Switzerland in all industries.

The creative and digital agency Tincan is expanding its partnership team. Wesllen Fuqua joined the existing partnership team—comprising Peter Niederberger, Raphael Willi, Baris Erdal, and Nina Stadelmann—at the end of August 2026. In his new role as a partner, Wesllen Fuqua will strengthen the agency’s presence in Zurich and further develop the strategic direction of the graphic design team.
An intensive year of preparation as a candidate
The partnership was preceded by what is known as a “candidate year,” during which Wesllen Fuqua gained insights into Tincan’s finances, strategy, and vision. The partnership has been official since the end of August. As a partner, he plans to focus particularly on building relationships with clients and agencies in the Zurich region and to help further solidify the agency’s decentralized organizational structure in day-to-day operations.
From the Feinheit Agency to Tincan
Wesllen Fuqua joined Tincan as Art Director in June 2023. Over the past three years, he has expanded the graphic design team and played a key role in shaping cross-team collaboration. Prior to that, the trained graphic designer worked at the Feinheit agency for seven years. While working, he earned his bachelor’s degree in film with a focus on animation from HSLU.
Focus on Processes, AI, and the Personal Touch
Fuqua himself describes his motivation as follows: «I’m very much looking forward to this new chapter at Tincan. It never ceases to amaze me how many different perspectives there are from which an agency can be viewed and developed. As a partner, I want to continuously optimize our work processes and ensure that we remain innovative when it comes to complex topics like AI, without losing sight of the personal and regional aspects.»
Nina Stadelmann, also a partner at Tincan, adds: «During his probationary year, Wes proved that he is the missing piece of the puzzle in our partner group. He complements us perfectly—not only through his expertise in expanding our visual disciplines, such as graphic and web design, but also through his strategic perspective on the Zurich market.»

Since its foundation in Zug in 2013, Tincan has developed steadily. In 2023, the agency expanded to Zurich in order to broaden its base (Markt-kom.com reported). A new strategic opportunity has now arisen: the establishment of a presence in French-speaking Switzerland.
A coincidence led to this: Yannic Bucher, who used to live next door to Tincan partner Peter Niederberger, was planning an agency in French-speaking Switzerland together with Lara Twerenbold. Their focus: sustainability, climate and democracy.
Instead of potential competition, a collaboration emerged. Tincan recognized the potential and brought Yannic onto the team as Creative Consultant and Lara as Marketing Consultant. At the same time, they continue to drive their specialist agency Another Narrative forward.
Multilingualism as a strategic advantage
With this expansion, Tincan aims to strengthen its multilingual consulting and implementation expertise. For companies and institutions with a presence in both language regions, there is now a uniform strategy with locally anchored content. Local expertise is particularly crucial for national campaigns: whether an association with regional locations or a brand with target groups in both language regions - proximity to the market enables a tailored approach and authentic implementation.
Long-term development with a sustainable focus
The two new Tincan consultants are currently working in small premises in Geneva and are establishing the brand step by step. "The development has time and can grow organically. But we have high hopes for this experiment. Multilingual and locally anchored campaigns have often been a challenge in the past - now we can implement them in a targeted and authentic way," says Tincan partner Peter Niederberger.

Tincan has produced an image clip for the Bossard Group that provides a stage for the invisible heroes of the industry. With a cinematic look, the film shows fasteners and employees whose important work often remains in the background, but who make a decisive contribution to the success of their customers.
Cinematic storytelling for more emotion
The image film relies on a strong visual narrative that brings viewers closer to the importance of these silent heroes. With a cinematic look and intense images, the film pays tribute to the work of employees in logistics and industry in an impressive way. This approach conveys the topic emotionally and authentically, so that the film not only informs, but also touches. The - sometimes small and inconspicuous, but elementary - connecting elements and solutions are also put in the spotlight in the film and heroically staged.
Recognition for the invisible heroes
"It was important for us to highlight the often hidden effect of correctly used fasteners and solutions. These small parts are usually totally underestimated, but make a huge contribution to our customers' success. We wanted to move away from the image that we are perceived as a simple 'screw supplier'," says Alain Bollschweiler, Head Communication & Branding at Bossard Group. "Tincan's image film has achieved this and shows how important fastening technology and the employees behind the scenes are for the company, without ever being in the spotlight." The film leaves a lasting impression and draws attention to the valuable work of these "hidden heroes".
"The image clip for the Bossard Group illustrates how films can be used as a medium to convey meaningful messages in an emotional and captivating way," summarizes Baris Erdal, Motion Consultant and Senior Partner at Tincan.
Responsible at Bossard Group: Alain Bollschweiler (Head Communication & Branding); Marleen Seilheimer (Senior Corporate Communication Specialist). Responsible at Tincan: Baris Erdal (project management, concept, direction), Balin Imfeld (camera, editing), Ephraim Tännler (camera assistant), Jana Meyer (production assistant), Marc Odermatt (lighting), Andrin Hettinger (drone).

Tincan has been supporting the Zug trade fair in the areas of marketing and communication for a good year and a half. This year, the creative agency also provided intensive support for the trade fair's redesign project with its four brands - Digital, Hello, Motion and Clicks - and developed a new website.
In doing so, they wanted to give the trade fair a new look, while at the same time not losing sight of tradition and recognition. In addition to the new website, the core element is the development of a key visual that is intended to represent the diversity of the Zug trade fair and at the same time can be adapted via various media channels.
The design draws on certain elements of the previous appearance and combines them with modern components. It can be used both as a static image and as an animation. Thomas Huwyler, Managing Director and Exhibition Manager of Zug Fair: "Tincan has created a key visual for our traditional brand that works across all channels - from TV to website to advertising in public transport or classic posters - and radiates our values as well as diversity."
The Tincan agency introduces Nina Stadelmann as a new member of the partner team. Stadelmann has been with the creative agency since 2021 and has helped shape its further development over the past two years, according to a statement: in particular by building up various Tincan Hello offerings, such as event management and the podcast division. As a driving force, she optimized internal structures as well as processes and drove the agency forward with a team of more than 30 employees.
Her short-term goals as a partner: "Consolidate the Zurich location, expand our customer base throughout German-speaking Switzerland and introduce innovative products across Tincan."

But over time, it has expanded its focus and now also positions itself as an app agency.

Through this approach, the company creates an unprecedented ease of entry for end customers in the industry. "Our vision is to make digital accessible to everyone," emphasizes Peter Niederberger, partner at Tincan. "Creating custom software is more cost-effective today than ever before. We want to motivate companies to dare the digital transformation." Interested parties can fill out a form on Tincan's website and receive a commitment or rejection. The process will be tested through the end of the year.
