Reporting now online led.

Task

Genossenschaft Migros Zürich (GMZ) decided to start reporting in digital form. On the basis of the existing corporate identity and design, for the 2021 financial year Linkgroup developed new-look reporting with a short report focused on storytelling alongside a comprehensive online report. The concept and design enable content to be presented effectively, distinctively and creatively. A professional project management set-up ensured efficient delivery and the smooth interplay of the cross-media processes. The overhauled content policy for online and print media laid down clear areas of editorial focus. The new-look reporting combines different digital options and now also includes a quick report presenting the year under review for those in a hurry. An interactive tool also enables readers to compare all the relevant figures.

Online annual report

“Given the growing importance of electronic media and changing user behaviour, it is only logical for a company to rely on digital business reporting today. An online annual report has to be dynamic and intuitive to use, and it has to work properly in functional, ergonomic and design terms. For us. it was important for the online and print channels to complement each other as well as possible. Linkgroup served as a one-stop shop, giving us strategic advice on these matters and producing our reports with professionalism and dedication.”
