Wolfgang Rosam

Wolfgang Rosam, a consultant in public relations, financial communications, public affairs and networking for over 35 years, is the founder and managing partner of ROSAM.GRÜNBERGER | Change Communications. For over 25 years he owned Austria's largest PR agency, Pleon Publico (today: Ketchum Publico), during which time he set new standards for PR and lobbying in Austria. With his agency he won the Austrian State Prize for PR three times and once the European PR Prize for the introduction of the Euro on behalf of the Austrian Federal Government. For more than eight years, he was responsible for the image development of Austrian wine after the glycol scandal and also oversaw the campaign for the accession of Austria to the EU - also on behalf of the Austrian Federal Government. After selling the agency Pleon Publico to a large listed American PR agency chain in 2004, he founded Rosam Change Communications and was thus a pioneer in a new consulting dimension for Austria: Change Communications. Initially "as a sideline", today Wolfgang Rosam is editor of the largest magazine for "culinary lifestyle" in German-speaking countries, FALSTAFF (circulation: 140,000, published in Germany, Austria and Switzerland). Wolfgang Rosam taught for twenty years at the Institute of Publishing of the University of Vienna "PR Conception" and is the bearer of the "Golden Medal of Honor of the Republic of Austria".
