Powerfully representing common interests
“Joining the GWA was a clear objective for us in recent years. We had the feeling that we had reached a good level in our growth and that we could apply confidently. We are very happy that we were accepted immediately. At the first events, we felt very comfortable among our colleagues. Together we can represent our concerns much more effectively,” Steffen Ruess, Managing Partner of the Ruess Group, explains the reasons for joining.
Ruess International is currently aligning its organisational structure in a way that is more performance-oriented and is therefore acting proactively against the background of developments in the industry, which, among other things, are shaping some new job profiles. Job descriptions, such as the so-called transaction editor, multiplies the content with the help of technical tools and forms an explicit interface from marketing to sales. The Ruess Group is currently setting up such a position in its content team.
