In October 2022, the STRG team, together with Jürgen Schmidt, STRG CEO, proudly welcomed Friedrich Dungl as the new Head of Business Development and Business Consultant. After many years in media management, Fritz (as we like to call him 🙂 ) decided, much to our delight, to move to the side of a solution provider.
His CV is rich in media experience. As Horizont reports, he primarily held C-suite leadership positions. Most recently, he was responsible for business development at APA and launched the new MediaKey “login” project. Before that, he was managing director of Bauernzeitung, of the holdings of Mediaprint.at (Bezirksjournale, Fundgrube, Rieder Magazin, Vogel Medien) and of Niederösterreichisches Pressehaus (NÖN, BVZ). At STRG. he is now the new Head of Business Development and Business Consultant.
Over more than 30 years in leadership positions at media companies, digital transformation and change management were always his key objectives. Just imagine the range of challenges he was able to pursue and help shape over those 30 years! The business models of specialist and regional media, daily newspapers and news agencies are complex and diverse. Digital transformation was and is therefore not just a buzzword, but a daily challenge for many media operators in Austria.
“I made it my mission to address this exciting challenge and to support digital businesses and media entrepreneurs on their path into the digital age, making this process as easy as possible for them. Developing new strategies and branding approaches has always fascinated me, because it gives rise to dynamic projects and, above all, creative solutions. It therefore made sense for STRG and me to decide to take this path together.”
“STRG.AT’s approach was absolutely exciting for me from the outset.”
We asked Friedrich what fascinated him most about STRG?
The general approach to enterprise solutions was absolutely exciting for me! There is no one-size-fits-all solution, but comprehensive, individual consulting and thus the perfect solution for the client. From stock corporations, media agencies, newspaper publishers and digital publishers to insurance companies and excellent wine shops. This range of different corporate structures and diverse requirements for digital solutions is the basis of our expertise.
STRG. Founders welcome Friedrich on board
The entire team looks forward to working with Fritz on new projects and developing new strategies together. Let’s take companies to the next digital level together!
