A company moves its communications into the future.

Job

HIAG Immobilien Schweiz AG wants its reporting to place a clear focus on the added value of the content for the reader and communicate HIAG’s business model in a tangible and understandable way. The online report has to be in the lead, but this channel requires focused content. In addition, they wanted to develop a new communication tool with a useful life over the entire financial year in the form of a company portrait with a focus on editorial/storytelling and supplementary key figures. Both media were to be linked, with each specifically geared to the medium in question. Linkgroup provides one-stop services with a high degree of vertical integration to support and relieve the burden on the communications team at HIAG.

Client
