BRANDERS, the Zurich-based consulting agency specialized in branding, fills the position of Creative Director with its new entry Thom Pfister (44). He is the latest addition to the Branders team led by René Allemann (CEO) and Pascal Geissbühler (Head of Strategy), joining forces with the company to comprehensively develop new integrated brand worlds.
“Integrated customer experiences provide a decisive competitive advantage in this day and age. And design is one strategic factor for success. We are very pleased to enrich our team with such a nationally and internationally experienced designer,” says René Allemann, CEO of Branders.
Before taking the job at Branders, Thom Pfister worked, among others, as Creative Director for Contexta and Komet. He can look back on more than 20 years of experience in renowned Swiss and international advertising and design agencies. Thom is a member of various industry associations including Art Directors Club Switzerland, Swiss Graphic Design Association SGV and Alliance Graphique Internationale AGI. A graduate of the Lucerne School of Art and Design, among the first stations of his career were McCann-Erickson, Studio Achermann as well as the London-based design studio Tomato.
And at GoSee, we are very happy to announce Thom as the first jury member of our 2016 GoSeeAWARDS. The official call for submissions will start beginning of March, and winners will be announced end of September during the UPDATE16 award ceremonies – and at a legendary location. But we won't say a word more.
