The list of people who were promoted by Marc early on is long: David Bauer, Hazel Brugger, Andreas Schneitter, Gabriel Vetter (me): these are just four names whose careers were launched or shaped by Marc Krebs. In 2004, , Marc Krebs gave me the opportunity to write about pop music for the "Basler Zeitung". I had applied to him with a crude slam text. He gave me the confidence to describe things unconventionally and to go overboard sometimes. He was my boss for a long time, today he is a good friend.
Hazel Brugger brought Marc to the "TagesWoche" as hong kong rcs data a freelance author and video blogger about six years ago; Hazel was still an unknown high school student in Bülach. When the Tagi-Magi was still writing about the best veggie burger in Kathmandu or the most beautiful men's shoes made of Apulian buffalo horn, Hazel Brugger was already producing Heute-Show-like reports for the "TagesWoche" thanks to Marc Krebs at the Art Basel. As the organizer of the Basel reading stage St. Bimbam, Marc Krebs also brought Hazel onto the Basel stages before anyone else. Later, Marc pushed people like Tara Hill, Naomi Gregoris, Valentin Kimstedt, Matthias Oppliger, and Daniel Faulhaber at the "TagesWoche". It is not for nothing that Marc Krebs is also called "the MAZ of northwestern Switzerland". Thanks to Marc Krebs, the "TagesWoche" not only had contacts with the entire Basel cultural scene, but also always had access to a refreshing pool of writers: Without Marc Krebs, it is questionable to what extent the "TagesWoche" will still have contributions from people like Renato Kaiser, Lara Stoll, Hazel, Linus Volkmann, or Andreas Schneitter.
