Sonja Zöchling Stucki, who has since retired as head of communications, and her team achieved this five times. Now, under the leadership of Manuela Staub, her successors Jasmin Bodmer, Bettina Kunz and Raffaela Stelzer have seamlessly followed in her big footsteps. "It can't be a coincidence," comment the self-confident "Fab Four" from the airport, and they have a simple and equally convincing explanation: "The journalists seem to appreciate our way of working, which of course makes us very happy."

In second place in this year's corporate spokesperson ranking of the Swiss journalist rank Franziska Rosenmund and Nicolas Wüthrich from Pro Natura, followed by Léa Wertheimer from Swiss Post.

More than 160 journalists submitted 7220 individual ratings this year. With their grades, the news, business and specialist journalists made for an extremely close decision. 72 percent of the 132 media outlets achieved an overall grade between 4.5 and 3.5. 28 percent achieved grades between 3.5 and 2.5. The ranking ran from August 3 to September 6, 2020. The ratings were based on the Swiss school grading system.

In addition to the company spokespersons, the Swiss journalist also asked about the performance of communications agencies. Open up came out on top here, ahead of In Flagranti.
