WE INTRODUCE OURSELVES
We are communication professionals with passion. We stem from the Keystone-SDA subsidiary PPR Media Relations. We are independent, dynamic and flexible. We are Karin, Sebastian, Natalie and Marcella. WeArePepper.
Karin is cool as a cucumber and can do just about anything - except numbers and dates. As tribal elder, she keeps the wild crowd happy. #agencymom. Work-life balance was laid in Karin's cradle. Her customers like her straightforward and open manner, her employees her uncomplicated and open nature. If the coffee machine is in a different place again, everyone knows who did it. Karin doesn't like routine and patterns. Breaking them up and trying out new things is probably the secret of why she still enjoys her work so much, even after so many years.

Sebastian is a true multi-talent - as a managing director with a background in business administration, he reliably takes care of numbers and strategy, as a passionate photographer, he is the expert for visual communication, and as a handyman-by-mistake, he is skilled with hammer and nail. At first glance, he could be from Zurich, but as soon as he speaks, he can no longer hide the fact that he comes from the deepest eastern part of Switzerland. So it is also clear why he pronounces every word with an o at the end. Also in his free time Sebi is an all-rounder: ukulele, guitar, tennis, bike, documentary and series junkie, cryptocurrencies... #howmanyhobbiescanonehave

Natalie has the ability to learn everything about you in a very short time without you even noticing. That's probably why she's so popular with our clients as a senior consultant - because work isn't just work, but also people and relationships behind it #relationspro. But beware: Natalie can also let her Southern German roots do the talking and negotiate tough as nails. In 2021, Natalie took on her biggest and most beautiful project to date - it's small, cute and makes her lose sleep over and over again.

Marcella is the coolest team supporter any agency could envision. With an insatiable curiosity, boundless enthusiasm, and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, she effortlessly delves into every facet - a true jack-of-all-trades, as demanded by her role. A fervent sports aficionado and a certified yoga enthusiast, she introduces an air of mindfulness and a pervasive sense of well-being into the otherwise conventional office ambiance. The #vibesmatter mantra becomes tangible. Marcella seamlessly blends her Italian temperament with an air of composed empathy, resulting in an invaluable asset to the Peppers. And let's not forget to mention her loyal furry companion, Merlot - an absolute Cutie Pie.
