Successful debut of the Pitch Lunch from news aktuell
Zurich (ots)
The dpa subsidiary, news aktuell (Switzerland) AG, hosted the first Pitch Lunch for the PR industry yesterday in Zurich. Around 50 guests from companies, agencies and the start-up sector came to LOFT FIVE to see the future of communication and media. Selected founding teams from the next media accelerator (nma) pitched their projects-including a chatbot, an app for video interviews and a new platform for user-generated content. The nma is the start-up incubator of the German Press Agency (dpa) and accelerates media-related founders from all over Europe towards success with a six-month intensive programme.
"The first Pitch Lunch for PR creators was met with great enthusiasm. We wanted to offer young founders and PR professionals an innovative platform and promote mutual exchange between both worlds. Pitch Lunches are intended to give companies and organisations insights into new trends, products, issues and the agile working mentality of start-ups, and, in turn, founders gain valuable contacts for future projects", says Eljub Ramic, Managing Director of news aktuell (Switzerland) AG.
The following start-ups pitched their projects at the Pitch Lunch:
Sigmund Talks: The German start-up offers a chatbot that allows businesses to quickly and easily create content marketing campaigns. Further information: https://www.sigmundtalks.io/de/
