Swiss House of Brands was born from the merger of a brand & business strategy consultancy and a communications agency.
Chantal Baer & Marine Gruaz-Rébuffat have worked together for several years on projects integrating the strategic part of brand and business development with the deployment of visual & digital identity.
In 2020, they joined forces to create Swiss House of Brands, bringing together expertise and generations to build their customer’s global performance.
Our dream was to offer a global support to companies integrating strategic consulting and marketing / digital implementation for measurable high performance at a fair price.

Our commitment to sustainability
Swiss House of Brands is committed to sustainability because we believe that only this model of living and working will enable humanity to continue to prosper in an equitable way for humankind and all other living species in a respected and preserved universe.
We have implemented sustainability measures at all three levels of the company – environmental, social and governance. We continue to develop measures and check our efforts to meet the requirements of a sustainable business.
Our commitment is enshrined in our company’s articles of association, and all our mandates are subject to an awareness of the need for sustainable commitment. The company’s founders have taken a course in “sustainable business management” at Cambridge University, and work with companies to help them make the transition to sustainability. We are in the process of obtaining B-Corp certification.
