Fachwerk Communikation

What Fachwerk Communikation does

Fachwerk Kommunikation AG is an integrated Swiss marketing and communications agency headquartered in Sursee, operating under two parallel legal entities (fachwerk Kommunikation AG and fachwerk Advertising AG) that share branding, leadership, and infrastructure. Founded in 2013, the agency employs 22 creative professionals and is co-owned by CEOs Gregor Felder and Nektarios Thanasis. The business is structured as three specialized divisions under one roof: fachwerk Advertising (campaigns, branding, TV, programmatic DOOH, corporate publishing), fachwerk Promotion (promotional merchandise, corporate fashion, the proprietary f-box logistics system, and digital catalogs), and fachwerk Events (corporate events, jubilees, hybrid and virtual events). It serves primarily Swiss enterprises in Central Switzerland, with a notable concentration of healthcare, pharmaceutical, construction, retail, and public-sector clients including Gilead Sciences, AbbVie, A. Menarini, LUKS Gruppe, Aregger AG, Hornbach Schweiz, Feldschlösschen, and Kanton Luzern.

The agency's service delivery is increasingly augmented by AI tooling across text (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude), image (Midjourney, DALL·E, Adobe Firefly), video (Veo3, Synthesia), and audio (Deepgram), and it has built a proprietary Digital Avatar Solution that enables multilingual brand-representative avatars for explainer videos, healthcare communication, HR onboarding, and virtual events. Distribution is direct via a single Sursee headquarters and a website funneling leads into three division-specific inboxes, with no intermediary, reseller, or programmatic demand-gen layer. GTM is sales-led, anchored on free initial consultations and project-based pricing.

Commercially, Fachwerk operates as a professional services agency with effort-based or flat-fee project billing, third-party costs passed through, and a minimum-order surcharge of CHF 150 on sub-CHF 1,000 merchandise orders. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the firm is privately held with no external investment, funding rounds, or M&A activity. Geographic scope is deliberately domestic, focused on Central Switzerland, and customer concentration is distributed across more than 20 named enterprise logos spanning at least a dozen industries.

Emerging players

• Notch Interactive AG: Swiss digital agency specializing in web, branding, and digital campaigns. Comparable in technology-augmented creative production but with narrower scope than Fachwerk's three-division integrated model.

Direct peers

• Contexta AG: Swiss integrated agency with advertising, content, and events capabilities. Similar mid-sized positioning serving Swiss enterprises across multiple verticals.
• Rod Kommunikation AG: Swiss full-service communications agency based in Lucerne, providing advertising, events, and corporate communications across German-speaking Switzerland. Directly comparable to Fachwerk in geography, size band, and integrated service model.
• Künzli Communications AG: Swiss creative and event agency with focus on corporate communications and live experiences. Direct overlap with Fachwerk's events and advertising divisions for SME clients.
• CRK Kommunikation AG: Lucerne-based Swiss agency offering corporate communications, branding, and events with similar SME client focus. Operates in the same Central Switzerland market as Fachwerk.

Broad incumbents

• Farner Consulting AG: Major Swiss communications consultancy providing PR, advertising, branding, and content. Comparable in branding and integrated communications but with significantly broader geographic footprint and enterprise client roster.
• Jung von Matt Switzerland: Larger creative network with Swiss operations offering advertising, branding, and digital. Comparable in advertising/campaign capability but at substantially greater scale, serving enterprise accounts beyond Fachwerk's regional reach.
• Wirz Group AG: One of Switzerland's largest independent agencies with full-service advertising, digital, and media. Overlaps with Fachwerk on advertising campaigns and media planning but operates at national/international scale with much larger headcount.

Regional players
