NZZ Annual Reports

The annual report concept for the NZZ combines storytelling with a well-thought-out overall visual and tactile experience – lifting the report far victory over a mere mandatory document.

The starting point was a complete redesign into a handy, independent format. The four editions of the series each follow an overarching central theme: sometimes a sharp reference to the editorial strengths of the NZZ, sometimes a look at socially relevant developments. For example, the first edition focuses on the NZZ's debate culture, while the 2022 report provides a look behind the scenes of the company under the motto "Nachgefragt" (Inquired). Each issue became a creative journey of discovery: embellishments, binding styles, types of paper, belly bands, or presentation folders turn the report into a medium that you want to pick up – and never want to put down again.
