Best Marketing Agencies in Zurich (2026)

Introduction

Zurich has Switzerland’s largest concentration of marketing agencies, and the 10 below cover the main ways Swiss brands buy growth: performance and search specialists, independent media agencies, network media groups and campaign-led communications firms. Each was chosen for its 2026 activity, the strength of its client list and how clearly it explains what it does.

The city’s client base shapes the work. Banks and insurers (Migros Bank, SWICA, Helsana, Vaudoise), retailers such as Migros and Coop, and Swisscom and SBB account for a large share of media budgets, and most agencies here run campaigns in German and French at once. The past year brought a lot of attention to AI search: several agencies now sell GEO (visibility in AI answers) next to classic SEO, and Mediaschneider reported running its first client campaign on ChatGPT soon after ads opened in Switzerland. Consolidation continues too: Hutter Consult’s performance and media business has moved into SiR MaRY under the MYTY Group.

Every agency here has an active office in Zurich in 2026. The list is unranked, since the right partner depends on your channels, budget and how much strategy you want alongside the buying.

Clients include Swisscom, Lidl, Globus, Helsana and Kantonspolizei Zürich, and it recently won Vaudoise. It has run an in-house brand safety blocklist since 2014, which is worth asking about if your category is sensitive.

Jung von Matt IMPACT is the paid media and digital marketing unit of Jung von Matt in Zurich, founded in 2015. It plans and runs campaigns across paid media channels and provides analytics, including performance tracking, audience segmentation and conversion optimisation.

Because it sits next to Jung von Matt LIMMAT and the group’s brand identity and tech units in Zurich, it suits clients who want media and creative under one roof. Its office page features a campaign for Ovomaltine.

8. SiR MaRY

Part of MYTY Group · Wiedikon · sirmary.com

SiR MaRY is a digital-first agency at Bertastrasse in Zurich working across creative and media. Hutter Consult, a long-standing Swiss performance agency, has moved its performance and media business into SiR MaRY MEDIA within the MYTY Group, and the Hutter Consult brand no longer operates separately.

The combination gives SiR MaRY a larger paid media and performance team alongside its creative work, with group offices in Munich, Berlin and Düsseldorf. As the merger is recent, ask which people from each side will work on your account.

9. Farner

Independent, partner-led · Zurich · farner.ch

Farner is a Swiss communications agency with more than 70 years of history and around 300 staff across Zurich, Basel, Bern, Chiasso, Lausanne and St. Gallen. Its work spans marketing communications, digital, branding and employer branding as well as public affairs and media relations.

It suits campaigns where marketing and reputation overlap, such as financial services or regulated sectors. In 2026 it expanded its financial communications team, added AI expertise and published work for the Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank (BLKB) on clear financial advice.

10. Feinheit

Independent · Zurich and Bern · feinheit.ch

Feinheit is a communication and campaigning agency with offices in Zurich and Bern, and it celebrated its 20th anniversary in September 2026. It combines strategy, online marketing and campaign websites with design and web development.

Its clients are mainly NGOs, SMEs, public administrations, political organisations and educational and cultural institutions, so it fits cause-led and public-sector campaigns better than retail performance briefs. For its anniversary it ran a pitch competition that split its prize among three organisations working on digitalisation, transparency and climate protection.

What to look for in a Zurich marketing agency

Start with the channels. Some Zurich agencies are search and paid social specialists, some are full media agencies that also buy TV, outdoor and print, and some lead with campaigns and content. Webrepublic and BlueGlass cover several of these, while Mediaschneider and dentsu are strongest where large media budgets are involved. Match the agency to where most of your budget will go.

Ask how they handle language regions. Most Swiss campaigns run in German and French, often Italian too, and the cost of adapting ads, landing pages and reporting across regions adds up. Agencies with teams in Lausanne or Bern, such as Webrepublic, DEPT and dentsu, can usually do this in-house.

Check how results are measured before the work starts. Attribution, marketing mix modelling and AI search visibility are all being sold in Zurich in 2026, and each needs agreed definitions and access to your own data. Ask to see a sample report and confirm who owns the accounts, tracking and dashboards if you later move agency.

Finally, look at the day-to-day: where creative assets and reports live, how feedback is collected and how approvals are tracked across a fast campaign calendar. A marketing team running several channels at once produces a lot of versions, and a single place for the latest files and comments saves time on every launch.

How Fabric helps marketing agency teams

Fabric gives a marketing agency one workspace for its files, client feedback and team knowledge, with AI search across all of it. The agency setup works well for agencies running several Swiss accounts at once: one space per client, with briefs, media plans, creative and call notes kept together. There are pages for performance marketing and content marketing agencies specifically.

Campaign assets in several languages pile up quickly. Fabric’s cloud drive streams files on demand, so video spots and large image sets take no local disk space. Search works by meaning across documents, images, PDFs and transcribed recordings, and connects to Google Drive, Dropbox, Notion and Gmail, so a team can find last year’s French banner set or a client’s brand guidelines without knowing the file name. Content calendars can run on a Kanban board whose cards are the files themselves.

For feedback, share a file or folder with the client as a commenter; shared links work without sign-up. With annotations, clients can leave timestamped comments on video and audio, draw on a video frame or an image and attach a comment, or highlight text in a PDF. The team marks each comment completed as it is handled, so a round of feedback works like a checklist. For finished reports and presentations, any file or folder can be published as a web page with password protection, and link analytics shows when each named recipient opened it and how long they spent.

On Team plans, self-writing docs maintain a page for each client from meetings, Slack and the workspace, covering decisions, deliverables and open items. Data is encrypted with AES-256, Fabric is CASA Tier 2 certified, and customer data is not used to train AI models.

Password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans, and self-writing docs on Team plans. See plans for teams.
