Voices from the field

Matthias Schupp, CEO, Medartis

«BrainE4 is my direct line to our employees – far more than a traditional survey. Within weeks I had an honest, anonymous picture with concrete suggestions instead of charts and could act visibly right away.»
Learn more

Renato Mathys, Head of Fire Service Department,
GVZ Building Insurance Canton of Zurich

«BrainE4 allowed us to bring all 6,800 firefighters into one structured dialogue. We gained honest, majority-backed solutions instead of just the loudest voices – and clear facts for our procurement decisions.»
Learn more

André Guyer, Mayor, Aesch (Zurich)

«BrainE4 was our digital town hall, reaching far beyond the usual few people in the room. Around a quarter of eligible voters gave us structured, honest input – a robust basis for our decisions.»
Learn more

Sebastian Clausen, Traffic Planner, City of Bern

«BrainE4 turned our neighborhood dialogue into a digital process and gave us first-class validation of what we saw on site. The playful platform brought in far more diverse voices than our walks and showed us exactly where to focus our measures.»
Learn more

Peter Ammann, Municipal Councillor, Besenbüren (AG)

«With BrainE4 we were able to channel emotions around the sensitive waste topic and defuse controversies. Everyone could share their view anonymously, be heard fairly – and we gained a broad, solid basis for our decision.»
Learn more

Fabio Pacozzi, Head of Communications,
Swiss Association of Municipalities

«BrainE4 ended our “flying blind” in communication and showed what municipalities really need from us. Over 500 participants gave playful yet concrete feedback on topics and channels – a clear foundation for our next moves.»
Learn more

Nadja Sutter, Editor-in-Chief, “Schweizer Gemeinde”

«BrainE4 showed us which topics truly matter to our readers – and far exceeded our expectations. More than 500 participants gave clear feedback, allowing us to refine the magazine and our editorial planning with much greater focus.»
Learn more

Claudia Kilcherr, Director Business Services, SOCAR,
& Tanja Hegglin, Head of HR CH & AT, SOCAR

«BrainE4 gave us a far more nuanced picture than traditional surveys – across both office staff and the station network. Employees could freely state and rate their concerns, giving management a clear and trustworthy basis for concrete improvements.»
Learn more

Peter Metzinger, Campaigner (“Mr. Campaigning”)

«For me, campaigning without listening is unthinkable – real change starts with dialogue.” I listen deeply and for a long time before I start talking: only when I truly understand what drives people can I design campaigns that make even tough change possible.»
Learn more

Martina Koch, Head of Corporate & Real Estate Banking Basel, UBS

«For me, good leadership means listening, staying curious and taking people along step by step through change.” I ask questions, create space for open team discussions and give continuous feedback – this is how we define goals together, build courage for new paths and foster a culture where change is seen as an opportunity.»
Learn more

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martina Hofmann, Managing Director,
Climate Protection and Energy Agency of Baden-Württemberg (KEA-BW)

«Real transformation starts in our minds – and with an honest look at what no longer works.” I constantly question myself and the system, stay mentally flexible and hold on to my vision, even when inertia and resistance are strong.»
Learn more

Edgar Bachmann, CEO, SOCAR Switzerland

«If you want change, you have to live it – not wait for the industry to move.” I listen closely to my environment, spot new energy trends early and lead by example as CEO – even when investments are still uncertain and provoke resistance.»
Learn more

Mario Räber, Mayor, Besenbüren (AG)

«With BrainE4 we were able to include many quiet voices in our small municipality – not just the loud ones at the microphone. The online dialogue clearly shows what really matters to people and gives us a much broader basis for our decisions.»
Learn more

Thomas Geier, CFO, Aveniq, Zurich

Marianne Noser, Editor-in-chief, Zeitlupe Zurich

«With BrainE4, we were able to involve our readers and get a clear, representative picture of what they want; I recommend BrainE4 to any publisher that truly wants to understand its audience.»

Dr. Christopher Müller, Co-President
