Exciting news: Patrick Lithander is taking over as managing director of ZUCKER.Kommunikation while also becoming a co-owner. Matthias Bonjer, co-founder and long-time managing director, will remain with the company as an authorized signatory and senior advisor.

Patrick and Matthias have known each other since the mid-90s – a true friendship that has repeatedly brought them together professionally over the years. After stints at fischerAppelt, G+J Corporate Editors, and C3, Patrick joined us in September 2025 as Growth Officer. And what can we say: He hit the ground running and, among other things, brought Mindspace and NATRUE on board as clients for us.

Dear Patrick,
We are thrilled that you are now officially at the helm! With your energy, experience, and sense of humor, you are exactly the right person to write the next chapters with us. Here’s to an exciting, creative, and successful time together – we’re ready!
The ZUCKER. team.
