  • From a sporting perspective, Baumann sees the competition as a model of success. Nevertheless, he still sees potential, especially with regard to the audience turnout.
  • As a positive example, he highlights the Rapperswil-Jona Lakers, who made it to the quarterfinals, “ran a great campaign and traveled abroad with 600 to 800 fans.”
  • It is sometimes the job of marketing to explicitly promote the stars who are little known outside the country’s borders and to convey the enthusiasm to the fans. “We still have to give ourselves time and do all of our homework. Then the product will go through the roof.”
