Ten years of Wylkomm at a glance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since Wylkomm was founded in 2016, we have grown at a steady pace. Our team has expanded over the years, bringing new expertise into the agency and making it possible to take on increasingly complex projects. What began as a sole proprietorship run from a desk at home has evolved into a communications agency with broad expertise, strong partnerships, and a clear direction. Every milestone tells part of this story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2016\u20132019: Building the foundations with initiative<\/strong><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The early years are shaped by a great deal of initiative, close contact with clients, and intensive groundwork. What starts out small develops step by step into a communications agency with a growing network and an expanding project portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020\u20132024: Challenges and ongoing development<\/strong><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversion into a limited liability company (GmbH) is an important step for Wylkomm\u2019s future development. At the same time, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic not only means lockdown and homeschooling, but also leads to many new assignments in crisis and science communication. Wylkomm emerges from the pandemic stronger than before and enters a new phase with communications expert Natascha Seitel on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prolonged absence of founder Maura Wyler after a skiing accident in 2022 poses major challenges for Wylkomm. At the same time, this difficult period brings the team closer together and strengthens their shared sense of responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The move into the office premises in Remetschwil and the addition of further expertise lay the foundations for Wylkomm\u2019s continued growth. And with Maura now fully trained as a mediator, the company is able to add mediation and conflict resolution to its range of services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2025\u20132026: New partnerships and shared responsibility<\/strong><\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the beginning of 2025, Maura Wyler and Doris Hirth of Verbindlich GmbH take over the management of Allianz f\u00fcr das Gemeinwohl, strengthening Wylkomm\u2019s presence in the nonprofit sector. At the end of 2025, Wylkomm becomes the communications partner for the Swiss Arbeitgeber Award, one of Switzerland\u2019s most prestigious employer awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also some internal changes: while Maura, as founder and CEO, continues to shape the company\u2019s strategic direction, Natascha Seitel takes over the operational management. This creates more scope to continue developing the agency and offering its clients close support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 2025:<\/strong> Maura Wyler becomes Co-Managing Director of Allianz f\u00fcr das Gemeinwohl
December 2025:<\/strong> Wylkomm becomes the official communications partner of the Swiss Arbeitgeber Award<\/p>\n\n\n\n
