New Head of Communications at SWI Swissinfo.ch

Christian Burger, 40, already a "Researcher and Media Analyst" at SWI Swissinfo.ch, will become SWI's new Head of Communications and Marketing as of January 1, 2017.

He succeeds Amr Huber, who left SWI in spring 2016. Christian Burger studied organizational and media psychology and computer science at the University of Bern, graduating with a master's degree. He then worked as a consultant and research associate at the "Center for Human Resource Management and Organizational Design," focusing on social research and management consulting. Via SWI, his path initially led him to Admeira (formerly Publisuisse), where he was responsible for advertising effectiveness research and continued to develop it.

Since 2013, back at SWI, he was responsible for measuring and analyzing online traffic in the K+M division and was involved in various strategic projects. Christian Burger already has a deputy function at K+M. SWI's management is looking forward to welcoming the new colleague and is convinced that he will make an important contribution to SWI's communication and promotion with his experience in media research and his understanding of how the digital media world works.
