Marco Ancora
The anchor in Marketing & Sales
“Ancora” means anchor. I open doors, bring the right people, mandates and opportunities in Switzerland together — and make them visible. Reliably. Transparently.
My impact
Three ways I connect
One person, one promise — firmly anchored in Swiss marketing & sales.
-
Connect Opening doors
I bring the right people, mandates and opportunities together — the door-opener in Swiss marketing & sales.
- Intros & referrals
- Mandates & boards
- Access to the network
-
Broker Leads & partnerships
As a Sales Ambassador I broker qualified leads and partnerships — win-win, transparent, commission-based.
- Lead referral
- Partnerships
- Win-win models
-
Champion Juries and boards
I assess work on professional juries and contribute to boards in Swiss marketing. That is where standards, visibility and opportunities for others are created.
- Jury mandates
- Boards & associations
- Vocational education
Commercial & Sponsoring
On the side and case by case: commercial support for clubs as a single mandate, for example around Ancora Football.

Projects
Built and supported
In the projects I have built or support, brand, sales and delivery come together.
-
ancora.footballOwn project
Worn football shirts from my collection, built since 2011, each with openly stated provenance.
-
hebdenuggi.chSupported
Brand and website for Heb de Nuggi by Alessandra Ancora, for some time now and deliberately kept small.
-
Founded in 2012
From the 2013/14 season, official distribution of U.S. Lecce for Switzerland and Liechtenstein, under a contract with Salentinamente, then the club’s distribution partner. I later handed the concept back and it was continued internationally. Today U.S. Lecce sells directly, through the club’s official shop.
I choose these projects deliberately. They stay small, and that is intended.
Profile
The anchor in the network
In Swiss marketing & sales, ability alone doesn't decide things — who you know and who you trust matters just as much. I bring the right people together, open doors and make people visible, reliably and transparently, without putting my own interest first. “Ancora” means anchor: giving stability, connecting, not drifting. In my main role I work as Strategic Partnership Lead at QoQa SA. Ancora Marketing is my brand for marketing & sales and stays independent of it.
