History

The Mediamix Story

Foundation
Erich Bärtschi founds Mediamix SA in Lausanne, the first media agency in Switzerland to be exclusively active on an international level.
1982
Growth
Martin Gentsch joins Mediamix, becoming a partner three years later.
1987
Growth
While many Swiss agencies are experiencing a mass exodus of media budgets to Great Britain, Erich Bärtschi and John Farrar found the Farrar Media agency in London. Thanks to their recognised expertise, Mediamix and Farrar Media quickly win over British and international agencies and advertisers. Customer service is provided locally, while media buying is centralised in Switzerland.
1988
Moving house
Mediamix moves to the heights of Lausanne, then to Belmont-sur-Lausanne, where its headquarters are still located today.
1995
Growth
Henri Tripet joins Mediamix and is appointed a partner three years later. Under his impetus, the agency purchases a high-performance IT system and becomes the first company in Western Lausanne to connect to the Internet via cable.
1996
Growth
A record year for many agencies, Mediamix is working at full speed. Far from resting on its laurels, the agency focuses on new business and renews 75% of its clientele in just two years, enabling it to overcome the crisis linked to the sad events of 2001.
2000
Growth
Mediamix has 12 employees. By mutual agreement, the three partners decide to stick to this workforce size and to focus on a niche strategy directly linked to customer service. Managing this lack of growth proves to be sometimes delicate when it comes to refusing new mandates.
2005
Development
Private banking and luxury brands, who have long been reluctant to digital advertising, are increasingly investing online. Mediamix accompanies this digital shift, while maintaining a high level of brand protection. This qualitative and selective online and offline approach differentiates Mediamix from pure digital players or larger networks mainly managing consumer budgets.
2010
Birthday
Mediamix celebrates its 35th anniversary, more determined than ever to offer its clients an unparalleled combination of experience and innovation.
2017
Growth
Laetitia Foeller joins Mediamix as Head of Digital and member of the management. She highly contributes to the implementation of the structure, processes and partnerships that allow the agency to position itself today as a major player in the panorama of international online media agencies.
2018
Birthday
Mediamix celebrates its 40th anniversary Martin Gentsch retires.
2022
Growth
