This morning, Dirk Voigtländer and I presented ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE’s key financial results for the first quarter of 2024 and we can clearly say: Our strong start to the year shows that we are on the right track.   In 2023, we have set a new course both operationally and strategically. In the first quarter, we are now seeing the first clear effects of our efficiency measures with Group revenues increasing by 6% and adjusted EBITDA growing by 35% year-on-year. The advertising business, which is particularly important for us, is continuing to recover – especially #Joyn is growing strongly. This shows that our strategic focus on digital reach pays off. At the same time, the Commerce & Ventures segment once again recorded significant double-digit revenue growth. Verivox GmbH and flaconi in particular are performing strongly.  Even though the market and economic environment remains challenging, we are looking to 2024 with confidence and are therefore confirming our full-year outlook. We will continue to focus clearly on the strategically relevant business areas related to our Entertainment portfolio and continue our consistent management of costs and cash flows.   You can find more about our #Q1 financial performance on our website: https://lnkd.in/dqg2HY5q

Just joined today's webinar on eIDAS 2 by Obserwatorium.biz Nimbus Technologieberatung GmbH Trust Agency BV Michał Tabor, Milosz Brakoniecki, Franziska Granc, Arno Fiedler, Wim Coulier and Wim Mintiens were putting some great content together, providing a broader picture on the upcoming revision of EU Regulation 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services and are addressing some of the major challenges on legal, technical and ... not to be underestimated ... political level - from a multinational background - Poland, Germany and Belgium. For example: Arno made a good attempt to map eIDAS Trust Services according to the Boston Matrix in allocating the services into the four categories of Cash Cow, Rising Star, Poor Dogs and Question Marks. Little spoiler: Electronic Attestation of Attributes as one of the rising stars. ************************** As requested in the chat some links to the official text of the revision of EU Regulation 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services in various languages in the version which was signed by the presidents of the EU Parliament and Council April 11, 2024 Official text English version https://lnkd.in/eDksCkja Italian version https://lnkd.in/eyxCiDf3 French version https://lnkd.in/ewUej2hK German version https://lnkd.in/etvebi3G Polish version https://lnkd.in/e97vi9md Dutch version https://lnkd.in/e9_Dwtca Greek version https://lnkd.in/ezrY4SX6 Spanish version https://lnkd.in/ecmgMiNb Romanian version https://lnkd.in/erhJR3yq Portuguese version https://lnkd.in/e7dTsE2G ➡️ Now awaiting publication in the Official Journal.

Today, ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE released quarterly results - and as CEO and CFO of NCG – NUCOM GROUP SE and the #CommerceandVentures segment I am extremly proud of our strong performance: Our revenues in the Commerce & Ventures segment increased organically by 22% to EUR 622 million in the first nine months of 2024 and in Q3 alone we achieved a 22% increase, reaching EUR 218 million. Adjusted EBITDA grew strongly by 55% in Q3 2024 mainly driven by positive revenue development, and in the nine-month period we almost tripled our earnings. The standout performer has been our Beauty & Lifestyle business flaconi which has thrived even amidst a general consumer slowdown with a revenue growth of 38%. Our Consumer Advice vertical with assets such as online comparison portal Verivox GmbH and Aroundhome continues to show steady growth, and we are seeing positive developments in our Media-for-Revenue and Media-for-Equity investment models at SevenVentures. With that strong tailwind, we will focus on maintaining our profitbale growth story in the final quarter of the year and expect the revenue momentum in the Commerce & Ventures segment to continue even in a difficult economic environment.   A huge thank you to all our dedicated teams at Commerce & Ventures, SevenVentures and our majority assets!  FLOYT Mobility | billiger-mietwagen.de | CARIGAMI marktguru Deutschland - ein Unternehmen der ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE CamperDays Jochen Schweizer mydays Group wetter.com GmbH

I need your help .... .... to speak at Ecommcer Berlin 2025. Today is the last day to give a vote for the "call for speaker" and I would truly appreciate if you take 2 min of your time to vote. My presentation will be about how unified experimentation can foster cross-team collaboration, breaking down silos and driving overall business success. There are so many teams/ departments/ people within organization doing the same - optimization/ experimentation - but they still don't talk to each other properly. This causes that organizations are not able to grow the way they should and need. 1. Click here: https://lnkd.in/exGd7Qeg 2.

🇪🇺🆔 Today‘s big 🐘 in the room at 10th ENISA Trust Services Forum in Heraklion: Franziska Granc is nominating the „Total Market Volume of Qualified Trust Services“ for the informal „Elephant Award“. The responses provided for the turnover with qualified trust services so far for the survey triggered by Nimbus Technologieberatung GmbH might be based on different assumptions such as including or excluding hardware, consulting and integration services etc. - but Kudos (as the ly say not just in 🇬🇷) to Arno and his team for triggering the attempt to show that we are talking about an industry segment which might suffer a bit from lack in recognition also based on turnover already created and its potential going forward. #DigitalIdentity #DigitalTrustServices #DigitalWallet #DigitalWallets #EUDigitalIdentity #ElectronicIdentity #EUDIWallet #eIDAS #eIDAS2 #IDWallet #IDWallets #IntelligentTrustServices #ElectronicSignature #ESignature #ElectronicSeal #ElectronicAttributes #ElectronicAttributeAttestation #TrustServices #Namirial #EnisaTSF24 #TSF2024

Start-up Award Analytics and Data Management: this year's winner has been announced, and congratulations to Scavenger AI! As every year, it's part of Big Data & AI World Frankfurt with BARC: four finalists present their innovative solutions, and I've been honored to be part of the high-caliber jury for many years. We always have FOUR winners because it is already difficult to make it to the final - but this year especially because all four really deserved it. Nevertheless, we had to make a decision: Maximilian Hahnenkamp (on the photo left) and Felix Beissel (right), co-founders of Scavenger AI, convinced us with an innovative combination of different AI modules with which they challenge classic BI and reporting solutions. Axel Henes with "SemanticOne" impressed me with the great visualization (Rolf Hichert, inspired by you!) - Conversional AI packaged for financial reporting. Dr. Wolfgang Faisst with ValueWorks.ai convinced me with great content-rich BI solutions for SMEs - many years of experience from top management consulting packaged in software And Dr. Simon Harrer with Data Mesh Manager has a bold and innovative approach to Data Contract Management - not only the software, but also the approach to the process and standards in this area is very promising. I wish all four of them a great future! - If we can give the finalists some help along the way by giving them more visibility in the market, then the purpose of this award is fulfilled. So take a look at the four great solutions! As I do every year, I take the opportunity to look back at the winners from previous years. All are doing well, in addition to a 100m+ exit, one former winner has just successfully closed another funding round. I'm sure Scavenger will continue this tradition!

 Here are 🖐 5 “aha moments” from our experiences in the area of commercial go-to-market (#GTM). I had a super engaging conversation (in German 🇩🇪 ) with Björn W. Schäfer as part of his podcast format “The SaaS Symphony” about #GTM key learnings in working with our portfolio companies in the different stages. The mini-wrap video with English transcript provides a brief overview of the 5 key learnings we discussed: 1️⃣ GTM Matters at Every Stage: GTM isn't just for startups. Whether you're at the seed stage, scaling from Series A to D, or an established Mittelstand company, GTM is crucial. 2️⃣ Managing Product-Market-Fit (#PMF) is one of the main jobs of a founder: PMF isn't a one-off achievement but a continuous mission for founders. Regular reassessment is key to staying aligned with market needs. 3️⃣ PMF is a Process — You will never “have” PMF: Treat PMF like a health score, tracking regularly to ensure your product matches the market perfectly. 4️⃣ Inseparable Duo: GTM & PMF: Success in GTM hinges on achieving PMF. Both must sync for market success. 5️⃣ Flywheel effects accelerate future GTM approaches: A successful GTM sets the stage for further expansion. Use it to enter new markets or launch new products efficiently. Would be interesting if you observe these 5 experiences as well or if there are additional observations. Thanks Björn W. Schäfer for this recording and I'm already looking forward to your book that you mentioned, which will be published soon ;)

I’m proud to share more insightful media coverage after our Enreach DE #OpenAir2024 partner event event. This piece by Waltraud Ritzer for Telecom Handel dives into our theme of how AI is transforming business communications. In my conversation with Waltraud, I highlighted the significant potential of AI to improve our customers' business processes and provide our partners with intelligent solutions that add real value. However, we're still a long way from widespread adoption of #AI solutions, so it's vital for us at Enreach to help our partners and customers understand how fundamental the changes that AI will bring will be - and to enable them to stay ahead of the curve and develop the right solutions to take advantage of these developments. At the German partner event, we showcased our AI-powered solutions and explained the depths of our Enreach AI platform, with which we aim to democratize AI and bring cutting-edge #ConversationalAI tools to our partners and their customers. For our German-speaking followers, read the full article to get all the details here:

Business-Branchenbuch.de revolutionizes the industry: No advertising for more focus on listed companies: This strategic decision was made to focus exclusively on the listed companies and to provide users with an uninterrupted experience. By eliminating advertising, users will no longer be distracted by intrusive content but can fully concentrate on the offers and information provided by the companies. Thus, the business directory also focuses on its positioning in the market as a comprehensive source of information about companies. After integrating job offers and vouchers through its own aggregators, Business-branchenbuch.de has significantly expanded its range. One of the important improvements is also the associated reduction in loading times. Without the need to load advertisements, users can now navigate through the business directory faster and more efficiently, leading to an overall improved user experience. "At Business-Branchenbuch.de, we are always striving to provide our users with the best possible experience and to offer companies an optimal presentation platform," said Managing Director Olaf Brenn. "The abolition of advertising on our platform is another step in this direction and underscores our commitment to quality and user-friendliness. The decision also affects the complete network."

I can't believe it, but it’s already been more than three years since Rolf Hermann 🤘🏻 asked me to participate in a podcast episode about Data Segmentation in Email Marketing. Listen to the episode 🎧: https://lnkd.in/eZ7q79Tg (German only). While we’re not in the midst of COVID anymore, many of the topics we discussed back in 2020 remain relevant when it comes to data management and segmentation to enhance email marketing. Agree or disagree? Also, it might have been three years already, but I remember like it was yesterday how nervous I was to speak and afraid of blurting out nonsense. It was, I believe, only the second podcast episode I ever recorded. #emailmarketing #emailstrategy #clv #segmentation #podcast #omr
