Implenia’s brand ambassador Ruedi Wild wins Ironman 70.3 Switzerland in Rapperswil for second time
Dietlikon, 15 June 2017 – Ruedi Wild has been Implenia’s brand ambassador since 2010. Last weekend, Ruedi Wild reaffirmed his undisputed credentials as a top world-class triathlete: he convincingly won the Ironman 70.3 Switzerland in Rapperswil, completing the course in just under 3 hours 50 minutes, and beating South African James Cunnama into second place. After 2015 it is the second time that Ruedi Wild was taking the winner’s podium and it also makes him the 2017 Swiss Champion.
Implenia is proud to have worked so closely with Ruedi Wild for so many years in a relationship that goes far beyond marketing. The company has been enriched by Ruedi’s experience and expertise in top-level sport, and has been able to support him with its experience of the business world. Both sides complement each other extremely well, helping each other to achieve sustainable improvements.
As ambassadors, Ruedi Wild and Martina Strähl represent Implenia’s long-term commitment to running. Martina Strähl is a successful athlete and a specialist in mountain and long-distance runs. She became Implenia’s new brand ambassador this year. Triathlete Simone Brändli, who used to represent the Implenia daisy logo along with Ruedi Wild, retired from top-level sport.
