Tradition is a key value in Switzerland – a country where one of its cities, Zurich, is ranked as the 4th most valuable brand of the country, worth 7 554 million U.S. dollars. Nothing can harm the strong Swiss brand, which also happened to be the sentiment during the “Swissness oblige” event on March 5, 2015. Hosted by jovoto, 25 representatives of renowned Swiss companies gathered in the historic vaults of the former Basel Volksbank to discuss the importance of the brand “Swissness” for marketing.

But what if the reality is that the Swiss brand no longer exists as before? Historic Swiss brands such as Aromat, Toblerone, Ovomaltine, and Valser water have long been under foreign control.

How can companies be loyal to the Swiss tradition while remaining relevant in a modern, globalized market?  Since “Swissness oblige”,  traditional Swiss brands like Läderach, Victorinox, Bio-Strath, and UNICEF Switzerland have put their trust in the innovative power of jovoto’s creative community – with more than convincing results.
