FBM takes over Andreas and Conrad

The acquisition also enables the FBM Group to expand various business areas. Michael Büchel, founder of Andreas and Conrad, will remain involved in the agency. According to the statement, it is the ideal opportunity for FBM Group to expand its strategic business areas of "people management" and the placement of moderators and speakers. The merger will enable Andreas and Conrad to cooperate with the various departments of FBM Group.

Christoph Bürge, COO FBM Group, is convinced: "Andreas and Conrad are an excellent fit for our group and I am pleased that we are strengthening ourselves in the area of mediation with the acquisition of the people agency. We are going "back to the roots" here: Freddy Burger laid the foundation for his unique career with the placement of artists almost 50 years ago. That's exactly where we're picking up again." Michael Büchel, founder and co-owner of Andreas and Conrad, is also pleased with the new constellation: "Freddy Burger and his FBM Group have always been a great role model for me and their professionalism has always impressed me. With the FBM Group, we have found the best possible partner for a continued successful future."
