Alexander Haldemann takes responsibility for MetaDesign's global strategy as new chairman

MetaDesign is setting the course for the future with its new organization. Alexander Haldemann will be the new chairman of the branding agency, which has offices in Europe, Asia and North America. In this role, he will be responsible for MetaDesign's global business development and profiling.

Alexander Haldemann has been CEO of MetaDesign in Switzerland since 2001. In addition to the successful development work in Switzerland, he took over the San Francisco location as owner and was responsible for the development of MetaDesign in the USA. Starting in 2016, he gradually sold his stake to Publicis Groupe and led the integration of the branding agency into the global network. This process has been completed since last year.

Alexander Haldemann: "As a global network, Publicis Groupe creates the ideal framework for our ambitions. Within the group, MetaDesign has a clear position as a specialist in brand management. At the same time, and this is significant for our clients, the seamless cooperation with our sister agencies allows us to access their proven competencies in media, technology and advertising. We call this interplay of all disciplines: "Power-of-One.
