Lukas Frei leaves Scholz & Friends Switzerland after four years
Managing Creative Director Lukas Frei is leaving the Scholz & Friends agency at the end of April 2017.
"After more than four years, the time has come for me to reorient myself and tackle something new," says Frei. Under his leadership, highly regarded and award-winning campaigns have been created for USM Haller , Coop "Miini Region" or Radio SRF 1 and the agency group's Zurich location has increasingly become the focus of new clients.
"We very much regret Lukas' decision to leave the agency. I would like to expressly thank Lukas for his commitment and excellent creative work and wish him all the best for the future and continued success," explains Frank-Michael Schmidt, CEO of the Scholz & Friends Group. What Lukas Frei will tackle next is still unknown: "There are options. But nothing has been decided yet. I'm giving myself enough time to do that. What is certain is that I will remain in the industry in some form."
Lukas Frei is a member of the Art Directors Club Switzerland and of the Ad School Board, where he also lectures. Before becoming Managing Director Creation at Scholz & Friends, he worked as Art Director and Creative Director at various agencies, most recently for around ten years at Jung von Matt/Limmat.
Christian Vosshagen, Creative Director at Scholz & Friends Switzerland for many years, will take over as Head of Creation in April.
