The multiple award-winning advertiser has headed Farner's advertising and event unit as Chief Creative Officer and member of the Executive Board since August 2014, and in this role is responsible for the agency's creative signature.

Roman Geiser, CEO & Managing Partner: "The move of a top creative to the Farner communications and PR agency surprised many industry observers at the time. For us, it already reflected the integrated and multidisciplinary approach that is needed today to create effective communications due to the change in media. The success of recent years has confirmed our approach, and we are delighted to welcome Philipp Skrabal to the agency's circle of partners".

Philipp Skrabal on his new role at Farner: "In an increasingly complex communications world where there are no longer any dividing lines between online and offline, Farner's approach of merging themes and disciplines is groundbreaking. Here, we don't think in terms of channels like PR, event, digital or advertising, but in terms of themes, in terms of relationships and in terms of stakeholder dimensions, and how we can shape them in the long term. In our mindset, creativity and cross-channel ideas play a central role. I'm delighted to now embody this mindset as a partner."
