gernBotschaft continues to grow: Four new colleagues have joined our copy and creative teams; others will be added early in 2007. And the additional office space needed to carry out our current and future expansion plans has already been secured at the Fürth Uferstadt location – the former Grundig headquarters – in the Eastside building complex.

The addition of two experienced editors – Tanja Keller and Dr. Christian Liederer (both joined us from the “Feedback” ad agency) – has enhanced our capabilities in handling demanding contents and perfected the interface between copywriting and editorial functions. Fresh expertise on medical topics is just one of the reasons we’re pleased about this new growth. On the design side, Katrin Käppel and Jennifer Wich have also joined the team. Following her studies in interior design and advanced training as a media designer during several years abroad, Katrin will especially be strengthening our interior design capabilities (see also the article “Six interior design projects “on page 3). With her many years of experience in pre-press work, Jenny will be enhancing our capacity for all print products. This brings the number of our full-time employees to 37, and they are supported as needed by a network of freelance specialists.

These latest additions have made things easier for our staff. Of course we anticipate further growth, so we continue to welcome new talent – especially in project management/contact, art and creative direction, foreign-language copywriting and new media.
