Markus Ehrle from APG|SGA is taking over as Chairman of AWS Outdoor Advertising Switzerland, and Gregor Zimmerli from Aktiv-Werbung joins the Board of Directors. New members Baracom and SPR+ are joining the association.
At its ordinary General Meeting on 15 January 2018, AWS Outdoor Advertising Switzerland reorganized its Board of Directors. The following will form the new Board of Directors committee:
• Markus Ehrle, APG|SGA AG, Chairman
• Christoph Marty, Clear Channel Schweiz AG, Vice-Chairman
• Beat Holenstein, APG|SGA AG
• Urs Zeier, Clear Channel Schweiz AG
• Gregor Zimmerli, Aktiv-Werbung AG
Markus Ehrle will replace Daniel Hofer as Chairman, who is stepping down both as Chairman and from the Board of Directors. His departure is due to his increased commitments abroad with JCDecaux. His place on the Board of Directors will be filled by Gregor Zimmerli. The current board members Christoph Marty, Beat Holenstein and Urs Zeier were re-elected. New members Baracom GmbH and SPR+ - Swiss Poster Research Plus AG have joined the association.
The new Chairman, Markus Ehrle, is delighted about the additional members, the expansion of the Board of Directors, the continuing positive market trend and the dynamism in the Swiss Out of Home advertising market. Despite strong competition among providers, the aim is to promote common interests such as generic marketing and the development of research data and tools. The association also campaigns against (further) advertising bans and in favour of liberal legislation.
