Young by Matt Switzerland

What Young by Matt Switzerland does

Young by Matt Switzerland, legally Jung von Matt AG, is a privately held, Zurich-based creative agency group founded in 1993 that operates as the parent of eight wholly-owned specialized agencies: Jung von Matt LIMMAT (creative campaigns), BRAND IDENTITY (brand strategy), IMPACT (digital marketing and performance media), TECH (digital platforms and websites), Leap Partners (strategy and innovation consulting), June (corporate communications and PR), blish (cross-media publishing and graphics), and The Generation Media (all-media planning). The group markets the integrated offering as "Joint Momentum" — The Power of Many — and employs approximately 120 experts across creative, strategy, media, digital, technology, and communications disciplines, serving primarily Swiss cultural brands (Mobiliar, Zweifel, Coop, Swiss Post, PostFinance, Volg) alongside international brand owners with Swiss or global mandates (MINI, Paul Smith, Ricola, Ovomaltine).

The business model is B2B professional services: full-service creative agency work delivered on a quote-based, project or retainer basis with publicly undisclosed pricing. Revenue is derived from integrated marketing and communication services spanning brand strategy, creative campaigns, digital marketing, performance media, technology builds, strategy consulting, corporate communications, and media planning. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales — direct client engagement with established Swiss enterprises — supplemented by a strong owned-channel presence (LinkedIn with 1.29M followers, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter) and documented campaign case studies that serve as sales collateral. The firm holds Ecovadis sustainability certification, maintains a myclimate partnership, and is a co-founder of the Gislerprotokoll initiative for diverse gender representation in advertising.

Technology and AI play a supporting rather than central role. The agency's stack includes AI-powered diagnostic tools (verbal-id.jvm.ch for verbal-identity analysis, doineedarelaunch.com for website evaluation) built on third-party models (OpenAI, Google Gemini), standard martech infrastructure (Google Analytics/Ads/Tag Manager, Meta Pixel and Custom Audiences, HubSpot CRM, Personio HR) and partnerships with Microsoft (LinkedIn) and TikTok for ad distribution. Reporting structure is led by CEO Roman Hirsbrunner, CFO Stefan Mosimann, CCO Christian Kies, Chief People & Culture Officer Nina Bieli, and Chief Experience Officer René Schwarz, with multiple Managing Partners across the subsidiary agencies. No funding rounds, M&A, or public-ownership signals are present; the group operates as a consolidated, privately owned entity.
