Urs Schneider founded Mediaschneider twenty years ago. At 17 percent, the owner-managed media agency has the second-highest market share in the Swiss media market.

A new, young generation is now to continue this. 36-year-old Moritz Schneider will take over the management of Mediaschneider Zurich as CEO on January 1, 2022. Urs Schneider will continue his duties as owner and Chairman of the Board of Directors.

The new crew is to further develop the agency in the digital world with the same pioneering spirit and enthusiasm as when it was founded together with Hoy, Mediaschneider writes in a statement. The focus will be on bold strategies, data-based expertise and a collaborative partnership.
