The

be
taking
his
well-deserved
retirement
at
the
turn
of
the
year,
but
will
continue
to
be
available
to
the
company
with
his
expertise.
Ingo
Kästner
has
headed
PMG
Presse-Monitor
since
2019.
He
played
a
leading
role
in
initiating
the
acquisition
of
X-CAGO
in
2021.
Since
then,
he
has
been
responsible
for
the
Dutch
company’s
business
together
with
Koos
Hussem.
Olivera
Kipcic,
Chairwoman
of
the
PMG
shareholders’
meeting
and
shareholder
representative
of
Frankfurter

Zeitung,
emphasises:
‘Ingo
Kästner
is
an
accomplished
manager
and
expert
in
digital
content
marketing.
In
recent
years,
he
has
created
new
opportunities
to
successfully
market
high-quality

digitally.
Under
his
leadership,
PMG
and
X-CAGO
have
become
a
strong

It
is
