Arndt Groth, President Europe, Adconion Media Group commented: “Increasingly, we are seeing global brands and agency partners looking to conduct coordinated international campaigns but with nuanced, country-specific execution. Not only does Goldbach have the largest reach in each of its countries—more than 90 per cent in the case of Poland—but, by combining its portfolio with ours, we are now able to behaviourally segment audiences across all countries and territories. Through our partnership, we are now in the unique position of being able to offer global campaigns but with local insights and implementation.”
“Through the partnership with Adconion Media Group, we can realise the potential of being the first truly pan-European online advertising network and offer a unique proposition to international agencies and brands in London” said Martin Radelfinger, Chief Strategy Officer, Goldbach Audience. "The combined sales power of Adconion’s Global Sales Team in London will prove to be a great asset for our partner sites across our entire network.”
