ftc communication SA

Working from offices in Lausanne, Genève, Neuchâtel and Sierre, ftc communication serves companies, organizations and public authorities across French-speaking Switzerland, offering public relations and communication work. The agency says it has worked in the region for more than twenty-five years, and when a campaign needs to reach beyond it, it calls on a network of quality partners across the country.

Public affairs and votes in western Switzerland

The agency designs and runs information, awareness and prevention campaigns for public bodies, and it manages communication for ballots, whether municipal, cantonal or federal, covering both initiatives and referendums. Its information, consultation and participation programmes are designed to bring citizens into a public decision. Members of the team bring backgrounds in public administration and political journalism.

Reputation, audits and crisis preparation

The agency carries out internal and external communication audits, develops institutional communication strategies and manages reputation over time. It can also provide an interim head of communication when a client needs one. For crisis work it offers support around the clock, risk identification, monitoring of potential threats and training in how to communicate when something goes wrong. It also works as the French-speaking partner of Carelink on crisis communication.

Content, events and media relations

Content work includes writing, photography and audio-video production, along with the design and production of digital and printed material. Public relations projects run from media relations to the design and management of events. The agency says its consultants can help prepare sensitive communications so that they are clear and well timed.

Memberships and quality certification

ftc is a member of LSA, the Swiss agency network, as well as the Société romande de relations publiques and PR Suisse. It is certified by the International Communications Consultancy Organisation, and it reports that it passed its recertification audit under the ICCO's CMS IV standard, which the agency presents as confirmation of its commitment to high standards and continuous improvement in its processes.
