Goldbach markets and brokers advertising across the following areas: TV, radio, print, online, mobile, out-of-home advertising and performance marketing. The segment includes, among other things, the fully consolidated majority interests in the video marketer Goldbach Media (54%), the online marketer Goldbach Audience (50.1%), the title marketer Goldbach Publishing, the audio marketer Swiss Radioworld (54%), the out-of-home marketer Neo Advertising (52.3%), the centralised centre of expertise for technology and services known as Goldbach neXT and the digital agency dreifive. Goldbach has a presence in Germany with Goldbach Germany and Jaduda, and in Austria with Goldbach Austria.
The advertising inventories originate mainly from TV broadcasters (groups), radio stations, owners of outdoor advertising spaces or providers of sites for outdoor advertising spaces, websites (online publishers) and newspaper publishers. Through the integration of Goldbach into TX Group, Goldbach has also been marketing TX Group advertising inventories since 2020.
Goldbach saw revenues grow in the 2022 reporting year thanks to out-of-home advertising, with new inventories being secured. The other categories were not capitalised as in the previous year, due to the decline in usage and the challenging environment in the advertising market. Goldbach has invested in transforming the company and in the development and expansion of a cross-media booking platform, which whereby the previous year’s results could not be matched. Two strategically relevant acquisitions were made with AdUnit and the out-of-home advertising marketer Clear Channel. This will strengthen Goldbach’s already excellent position. The proposed merger of Clear Channel Schweiz and Neo Advertising will significantly increase the offering in the out-of-home area.
