EUROPE – Claus Rättich has been appointed as Executive Director of Marketing and Communications at NürnbergMesse, following 10 years as Executive Director of Exhibitions.
Rättich took over the division on 1 March from Peter Ottmann who was appointed CEO in August 2011 and had continued to fill the post on an interim basis.
Rättich joined NürnbergMesse in 1993 as Assistant to the Managing Director. He was appointed Director of Marketing and Corporate Development in 2000 and in 2002 took over the newly-created division Exhibition Management II with responsibility for trade fairs and special-interest events.
“With Claus we have found two-in-one as it were; an exhibition expert who has been connected with NürnbergMesse for 20 years and devoted to marketing since the start of his professional career. These are ideal qualities for promoting marketing and communications,” says CEOs of NürnbergMesse, Roland Fleck and Peter Ottmann.
Rättich’s new role sees him take responsibility for dialogue marketing and visitor service, new media, protocol and event marketing, PR, advertising and corporate design, market research, brand rights management and mergers and acquisitions.
