Famous personalities, true dialogue, modern imagery and a fresh layout are the key ingredients that go into ‘Interview by Ringier’.

This new premium magazine exclusively opens the doors to Switzerland’s leading figures. Open-minded encounters and in-depth interviews offer hugely intimate insights into the lives of movers and shakers, visionaries, stars and celebrities. Fascinating photo series from both internationally renowned and young, innovative photographers present the characters that impact Switzerland. These are combined with detailed, entertaining and creative interview formats in a playful design to round out the magazine’ s content.

The magazine seeks to create a ‘wow’ effect: for readers who are interested in cultivated exchange and who have time and leisure to spare, for prominent figures, and for advertisers and customers.
