In 2021, digital advertising spend amounted to €12.1 billion in Germany (+16.5%), €1.7 billion in Austria (+35.8%), and €2.8 billion in Switzerland (+21.6%). Germany alone represents one of the top 5 digital advertising markets in the world and the 2nd largest in Europe after the UK1 .

To support its strong ambitions, Invibes Advertising has appointed Daniel Daum as Chairman of the Supervisory Board in Germany.

Daniel Daum previously spent more than 15 years in Paris at Prisma Media, the Nº1 French bi-media group with leading print and digital brands, owned by Bertelsmann until its acquisition by Vivendi in 2021. During this period with a strong entrepreneurial leadership, he formed one of the most powerful digital media offers in terms of daily reach in France as Executive Director of the TV-Entertainment division and created a successful Content Marketing Agency.

Nicolas Pollet and Kris Vlaemynck, co-founders of Invibes Advertising, said: “We are very pleased to welcome Daniel as Chairman of the Supervisory Board in Germany. His experience in the media sector and his expertise in the digital transformation of companies will be key assets to accompany us in the deployment of our development roadmap in the DACH region, a very dynamic area offering many opportunities and one where we have strong ambitions.”

By mid-2022, Invibes Advertising had already recorded as many campaigns across the region as for the whole of 2021, illustrating the current acceleration. Invibes Advertising has already launched numerous advertising campaigns over this period on behalf of market leading international brands such as Aldi, Disney, Intel, Jaguar Land Rover, L'Oréal, Red Bull and Siemens.

Advertisers have been won over by the unique value proposition offered by Invibes Advertising through its non-intrusive advertising formats which generate increased user engagement to the benefit of the brand and its image.

Decisive in winning these clients, the network of publishers has been considerably extended, as the number of publishers federated by Invibes Advertising in DACH has doubled over the past year, now reaching almost 400 publishers websites, including the major German press groups Condé Nast and Burda.

We are now structured to take full advantage of all the opportunities offered by this buoyant market and to accelerate commercially to become a key player in the region.”
