Paris-based Publicis Groupe, the parent of VivaKi and agency networks such as Digitas, Starcom MediaVest and ZenithOptimedia, this morning announced the acquisition of Zurich-based Nemos, which will
be integrated into Publicis Modem Switzerland.
Founded in 2002, Nemos is one of Switzerland's leading multimedia and flash programming agencies. Employing 10 digital professionals, Nemos' client
list includes companies such as Carlsberg, Movenpick, and Condor Films.
Pascal Urscheler, former CEO of Nemos and Marion Marxer, former Senior Brand Director of Publicis in Zurich will co-lead
the new Publicis Modem Switzerland. They will report to Freddy Collioud, President of Publicis Switzerland.
The acquisition of Nemos is the latest step in the global expansion of the Publicis
Modem digital network. The network recently expanded into Korea through the acquisition of Portfolio in 2008. Publicis Modem currently employs approximately 1,200 and has 40 offices around the world.
