Both Activities Have Much in Common

Executive Signal Summary

Interview with Marco Meroni, Managing Director of the Swiss agency June, about how his weekend hobby — sculpting heads from clay — relates to his weekday work creating media-effective brand stories and stunts. Meroni says working with clay forces slowness and a different creative mode that often sparks new approaches to client briefings. He cites his involvement in the 2017 Woodvetia campaign for the Federal Office for the Environment and explains he sculpts mostly on weekends while leading creative work at June. The piece is part of persoenlich.com's summer series “Nach der Arbeit” and was published on 2026-08-16.
