No, not in the city itself. Our Zürich office is 65 km away in a straight line, and Frankfurt is 303 km away. We share your time zone, so calls happen in normal working hours. Workshops run by video, or in person at our Zürich office.

What do businesses in St. Gallen need from a branding agency?

The insurer Helvetia is headquartered in the city, and its Abbey of Saint Gall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For a brand from St. Gallen, that means copy in German first, a plan for the other national languages, and a Swiss trade mark filed at the IPI.
