Fabian Zürcher has built up and managed the Brand Studio since 2016, initially as part of the Blick Group and later as an independent unit of Ringier Advertising. Under his leadership, the Brand Studio specialized in innovative advertising formats such as native advertising and other storytelling formats and successfully created award-winning content and image campaigns for renowned clients in the Swiss economy.
During his long career at Ringier, Fabian Zürcher held various positions, including deputy editor-in-chief of Blick.ch and Blick am Abend, and interim editor-in-chief of Blick. He has been a member of the management board of Ringier Advertising since 2020.
Thomas Passen, Managing Director of Ringier Advertising and member of the Executive Board of Ringier Media Switzerland: “We are very grateful to Fabian for his valuable and long-standing contribution to Ringier Advertising. His commitment and expertise have contributed significantly to our success. Thanks to his creativity, tireless dedication and in-depth expertise, Ringier Advertising has developed far beyond a traditional marketing unit. We wish him all the best for his future endeavors.“
Fabian Zürcher: ”I had the privilege of setting up a new business unit for Ringier with the Brand Studio and, together with a great team, developing it into a full-service agency. I was able to help shape the course of the Blick Group and Ringier Advertising alongside my colleagues and move Switzerland with campaigns and stories. Thank you very much for the wonderful years and the many opportunities. Now, however, it is time for new challenges. I am looking forward to them.”
To ensure continuity at Brand Studio, Thomas Passen will temporarily take over as head of the studio. The search for a successor is already underway.
