Eigenmann Unternehmenskommunikation

What Eigenmann Unternehmenskommunikation does

Eigenmann Unternehmenskommunikation is a privately held Swiss communications agency headquartered in Zürich that specializes in crisis communication, media training, and leadership development for enterprises and public-sector clients. The firm is led by founder and communication consultant Andreas Eigenmann and delivers a portfolio organized around three pillars: consulting services (Public Relations/Medienarbeit, Krisenkommunikation, Interne Kommunikation), training programs (media and crisis training, negotiation and influencing, rhetoric and presentation), and custom software tools (training videos, alarm applications, digital crisis dashboards, and client intranets). Its core differentiator is the integration of strategic consulting with hands-on simulation, exemplified by crisis exercises co-developed with Cedac AG and OST Fachhochschule Ostschweiz and legal-crisis scenarios co-delivered with attorney Alex de Capitani. The business operates as a project-based professional services firm with no disclosed headcount, revenue, or pricing, and markets through its website, industry-journal case studies in Werbewoche and H+ Hospital Forum/Competence, newsletter, and co-hosted workshops.
