🌞 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 = 𝗩𝗮𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 = 𝗖𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲 🌞 For nearly 13 million Germans camping is the favorite way of travelling and with the summer holidays around the corner many people will start their next adventure soon. However, in 2023, only 1.85 million people in the German-speaking region owned a travel or motorhome. This is why renting campers is essential for most people to have their perfect vacation. That's where our portfolio company CamperDays comes in! 🚐 As the number one rental motorhome comparison platform in Europe, CamperDays is paving the way for unforgettable camping experiences. With a presence in eleven European countries, the company offers a fleet of over 35,000 motorhomes, with more than 1,000 pick-up locations in 31 countries across five continents. It's no wonder that CamperDays was recognized as the best price comparison portal for motorhome rentals by Stiftung Warentest in 2022. And in 2024, ntv also awarded them the German Service Award for the Best Motorhome Rental in the Camping category. We've been working with the company, that was founded in Cologne in 2013, since its inception, and together, we've achieved some remarkable milestones. CamperDays, for example, was the sponsor of the #KabelEins show "3 Spitzenköche auf 4 Rädern" (3 Top Chefs on 4 Wheels) for two seasons (2022 and 2023). Furthermore, CamperDays also sponsored the Kabel Eins Camping Week in 2018. 🚐 👨🏼🍳 Next to campaigns on our channels, CamperDays also believes in making a positive impact. That's why they've undertaken various campaigns to promote sustainability, such as partnering with everwave to combat plastic pollution and collaborating with myclimate to reduce CO₂ emissions. They've also launched social campaigns like the She-Drives campaign, challenging gender stereotypes, and organized a Christmas donation drive for the WWF Brown Bear Conservation Project. 🚀 We are proud to see all the initiatives and the success of our partner and are looking forward to what’s to come.

For this purpose, 3,020 people across Germany were surveyed on the topic of the European Football Championship to find out what consumers desire and how the retailers and the market can use this momentum. And this huge sport event, that takes place in Germany from June 14 until July 14, gets the consumers excited: 💡 Already 𝟰𝟭% of those surveyed 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. 40% of the participants plan to watch European Championship matches in any case, another 40% if it comes up.   💡 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 (𝟵𝟭%) 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆, while 18% want to watch in restaurants, 15% at public screenings or in fan zones and 6% live in the stadium.   💡 79% of those who want to watch the matches also plan to 𝗯𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗲. Thereby, meat products are by far the most popular. Other popular products are 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗽𝘀, 𝘀𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗵𝗼𝗹.   💡 Three quarters of those surveyed have already noticed 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 around the EURO.

However, it has also been shown that the relevant awareness and the corresponding engagement only fully develop shortly before or right at the start of the tournament. Those who want to achieve a maximum share of voice in the buzz must coordinate their content and the timing of their offers and campaigns.” 👉🏼 Check out the Press Release for more insights: https://lnkd.in/eiaJqxDj

🛍️ 📱 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗲𝘆 – 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝘁𝗴𝘂𝗿𝘂’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝗽𝗽 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘆 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿   Bonsy is the budget book 2.0: The smart app uses #AI to automatically assign the products purchased to the respective categories (e.g. fruit, vegetables, snacks, dairy products, beauty & personal care, etc.) and not - as is usual with other budget books - on the basis of the retailer (supermarket, drugstore, etc.) where the purchase was made. This gives shoppers a particularly accurate and detailed breakdown of their spending, which helps them to better plan their own household budget.   And that’s how it works: With Bonsy, neither products nor retailers need to be entered manually into the app. Users simply upload a photo of the receipt to the app and the Bonsy AI does all the rest. It can structure expenses in diagrams and make them available for download in table form, enabling an easy overview of expenses and price trends of products over the course of the year.   The app works without a connection to a bank account and is completely anonymous. Personal financial information is never passed on to advertising networks. The Bonsy AI only uses it for statistical evaluations of a large number of users. 📈   👉🏼 If you want to download Bonsy now, you can find it in the App Store and in the Google Play Store. We are excited about the new smart shopping assistant. Congratulations to the marktguru Deutschland - ein Unternehmen der ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE team on the launch.

flaconi goes „Späti“ 🏪   No, our majority shareholding does not go to some Berlin kiosk to get last-minute groceries. Instead, flaconi cooperates with Elevator Production for their social media series “Späti”.   The viewers can follow Uncle D., a Späti-owner and part-time influencer, in the format, which is published on the #Instagram channel @spaeti_de on Wednesdays and Sundays. The fictional storyline focuses on a #cooperation contract of Uncle D. with flaconi for a high-end commercial that is supposed to generate a lot of attention with a small budget. During an official meeting at flaconi's headquarters, Uncle D. plans to produce a high-reach commercial together with his “Späti”-crew making big promises. Through an unofficial casting, Barry (IG: Bodyformus) becomes the main character of the humorous and exaggerated commercial, which is presented to the social media managers at flaconi. ✨   flaconi CEO Bastian Siebers: “We are delighted to be part of the Späti series with flaconi and to provide our ‘Beauty in your Pocket’ strategy with new, mobile-based, and creative content with viral potential.”   👀 Check out the hilarious story on @spaeti_de Instagram as well as their TikTok or on flaconi’s Instagram.   📸: Elevator Production

#Comparison portals help you to navigate through the maze of #tariffs - and thus find a new provider, e.g. for electricity, gas or internet more quickly. But how do the portals earn money from this - and is there a problem? Verivox GmbH, which has been in existence since 1998 and part of our portfolio since 2015, works with commissions that are due when a customer concludes a contract via the website. "It's true that we receive such a commission, which makes the service free for consumers. But we never rank the offers according to commission," says Verivox CEO Daniel Puschmann in the podcast "Die Stunde Null" by ntv and Capital Magazin. "We have an interest in being successful in the medium term and not just in the short term. Nobody would come to us regularly if the rankings were based on criteria other than those desired by consumers." According to Puschmann, Verivox focuses primarily on the areas "that make a difference to household spending", which includes #energy in particular. "The price differences are already considerable," he says. "There is currently potential to save 750 euros per year on electricity and almost 1200 euros on gas." In the #podcast, he also talks about why the tariffs for broadband connections are so complex and how often he himself switches electricity providers. Read more: https://lnkd.in/drYk8-b6

ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE published its financial #results for the year 2023 this morning. Our teams of the Commerce & Ventures segment as well as the teams working with our majority shareholdings of #SevenGrowth can be very proud of their outstanding performance over these twelve months. In the full year 2023 Commerce & Ventures achieved an adjusted EBITDA of 59 million euros, which means a year-on-year growth of 42%. External revenues increased by 12% compared to 2022 resulting in 844 million euros in total. In the decisive fourth quarter we even saw a dynamic revenue #growth of 13%. Especially our assets Verivox GmbH and flaconi were responsible for the very positive development in the verticals Consumer Advice and Beauty & Lifestyle. They helped to compensate the decline in the media-for-equity and media-for-revenue business of SevenVentures, which was affected by a difficult macroeconomic environment. #flaconi improved its revenues by 20% from 324 to 389 million euros due to a strong online #beauty market and operational excellence with improvements being made in marketing, assortment and logistics. #Verivox even outperformed its pre-energy crisis revenue and EBITDA levels with revenues more than doubling from 80 to 162 million euros (+103%). The company took advantage of a more stable #energy market and a growing contribution of its new #verticals such as insurance, loans and financial investments. Congratulations to the teams of Verivox GmbH, FLOYT Mobility | billiger-mietwagen.de | CARIGAMI, CamperDays, Aroundhome, Jochen Schweizer mydays Group, wetter.com GmbH, marktguru Deutschland - ein Unternehmen der ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE and flaconi who all have done an amazing job and instilled a lot of efforts into the success of their companies.
