Zurich/Vienna, January 29, 2026 – The internationally active PR and marketing agency KLEBER GROUP is further expanding its presence in the German-speaking region and is now also represented in Austria. With offices in Switzerland and Germany, as well as a presence in Vienna, the agency is now fully represented across the entire DACH region.
Headquartered in Zurich, with additional offices in Germany, Spain, Poland, the UK, and Africa, the KLEBER GROUP draws on over three decades of experience. The agency offers its clients a comprehensive 360-degree service spectrum with a focus on tourism, luxury, and lifestyle. In addition to traditional PR and communications work, the agency increasingly leverages innovative services such as AI Video and S-Buyer – a strategic tool for analyzing the emotional, behavioral, and symbolic decision-making factors of target audiences, enabling even more precise targeting of marketing and communication strategies.
In addition, the KLEBER GROUP continuously strengthens its consulting offerings with holistic approaches tailored to dynamic sectors such as hospitality – including branded residences. At the same time, the agency has for decades acted as a strategic sparring partner in investor relations, supporting international investment and positioning initiatives – including projects such as Voice4Africa by KLEBER GROUP, Rethinking Africa, and the Global Tourism Forum Investment Summit in Angola. Furthermore, the agency initiates and executes international communication and networking formats like DIYYAFAH, fostering exchange at the intersection of tourism, culture, and hospitality.
The Austrian presence in Vienna is led by Christin Freitag, Senior PR Consultant. She is responsible for the market entry and development of the Austrian market and serves as the primary point of contact for clients, media, and partners on-site. Previously, she managed the KLEBER GROUP’s Swiss office in Zurich.
Christin Freitag has a solid background in hospitality and extensive experience in marketing and communications for luxury and lifestyle hotels. Since joining the KLEBER GROUP in 2023, she has contributed to the strategic positioning of international destinations in the DACH market. In her new role, she is responsible for developing the Austrian market, including business development, stakeholder management, and close collaboration with the KLEBER GROUP’s international teams. With over eleven years of professional experience, she brings deep expertise in strategy, PR, and integrated communications. In her current role, she particularly leverages the agency’s advanced digital marketing and performance offerings to make PR strategies more data-driven, measurable, and impact-oriented.
“With our presence in Austria, we are completing our DACH strategy and strengthening our proximity to clients and partners in one of Europe’s most important tourism and lifestyle markets,” says Julia Kleber, CEO KLEBER GROUP. “For us, Vienna represents a key strategic milestone to further develop our integrated communication solutions and scale them internationally.”
The strategic responsibility for PR and communications lies with Kai Simon, Director of Strategic PR & Creative. In this role, he oversees and shapes the further development of the PR discipline as well as the creative and communicative direction – spanning destinations, hospitality, and lifestyle and luxury brands. He continues to hold market responsibility for Switzerland.
Kai Simon brings over two decades of international experience in strategic brand and corporate communications for leading individual premium hotels, hotel groups, and lifestyle brands. With his deep knowledge of the German-speaking market, insights into Swiss market nuances, and a strong understanding of the guest experience journey, he develops integrated communication strategies that precisely position brands across their entire value chain.
