Wunderman Thompson Switzerland operates under the brand INGO, a creative agency headquartered at Hardturmstrasse 133, Zürich, operating as part of the Wunderman Thompson network within WPP plc. INGO delivers brand strategy, creative communications, technology solutions, and multi-channel campaign activation to enterprise clients across Switzerland, Germany, and Sweden, with documented reach into at least 12 European markets through cross-border campaign work.

The agency's service portfolio spans five core offerings: brand strategy and development, creative communications and campaigns, tech solutions (including UX design and digital platforms), campaign activation across online and offline channels, and proprietary research studies. The technical composition includes UX/web platform work (e.g., Clyde.ch car subscription redesign), immersive experience design (e.g., Red Bull Media World surfable wave), and the use of generative AI within client campaigns (e.g., Microsoft's 'Make your wish' initiative, which was expanded globally). INGO generates revenue through direct client engagement on project-based work and pitches, though pricing models and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The customer base spans retail, beverage, financial services, nonprofit, sanitary/furniture, automotive, and food service sectors, with enterprise clients including Migros, Red Bull, Microsoft, Burger King, IKEA, PostFinance, Geberit AquaClean, Schützengarten, and HEKS, plus startup clients via a Startup Center offering. The agency was formed through the 2021 Wunderman–Thompson merger under WPP and operates within a cross-office network alongside INGO Stockholm and INGO Hamburg.
