Your Communication

What Your Communication does

YOCO Your Communication GmbH is a privately held, founder-owned Swiss limited liability company headquartered at Lindstrasse 25, 8400 Winterthur, operated by owner Barbara Rothlin. The company operates three distinct but co-located business lines under a single legal entity: (1) a brand, print, and web design agency; (2) marketplace event organization under the brands FORMSZENE (design/craft fair, ~40 exhibitors, twice yearly), NACHTBAZAR (design/art/craft market, ~60 exhibitors, annually in early July), and KREATIVMARKT (creative products market, ~140 exhibitors, annually in late summer, formerly Koffermarkt since 2013); and (3) a wellness offering under YUNITA, comprising Winti-Yoga Hatha-Yoga classes (capped at 6 participants), room rental to independent wellness practitioners, and recurring workshops such as Yoga & Klang and cacao ceremonies. Kreativmarkt 2025 hosted 136 exhibitors and Koffermarkt 2023 attracted ~1,580 visitors.

Revenue mechanics combine project-based professional services for design clients, exhibitor booth fees for marketplace events, quarterly subscription (Abo-Fix CHF 25/lesson) and pay-per-session (Abo-Flex CHF 30/lesson) pricing for yoga, hourly/daily room rental at the 44 sqm YUNITA space, and one-time workshop fees (CHF 45–48). Customer segments are exclusively SMB and individual consumers: small creative labels seeking sales venues, individuals seeking health-insurance-recognized yoga instruction, and independent wellness practitioners seeking affordable teaching space. The company has no disclosed funding, no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no proprietary technology stack. Geographic footprint is limited to Winterthur, Switzerland, and distribution is conducted entirely through physical venues, the yoco.ch website, organic social (Facebook, Instagram), and email newsletters.

Strategic significance is low at the PE/VC/M&A scale. YOCO is a micro-enterprise operating as an integrated lifestyle/creative business with deep local roots but limited scalability indicators — single-location, founder-dependent, sub-140-employee operation in absolute terms, and no AI, software, or technology platform layer that would position it for venture investment.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• MCH Group AG: Major Swiss live events and exhibitions company operating Messe Basel, Messe Zurich, and other premium venues. Broader incumbent in the Swiss events/exhibitions industry with significantly greater scale, but comparable in organizing curated vendor/exhibitor events at premium venues similar to Grosse Reithalle.

Others

• Peerspace: Online marketplace for hourly venue rental including wellness, yoga, and creative studios. Represents a digital-first approach to the same asset-light space monetization model that YOCO uses for YUNITA, though operating at much greater geographic scale and via an online platform.

Direct peers

• Blickfang: Swiss design fair organizer hosting curated design, art, and craft markets across multiple Swiss cities including Zurich and Basel. Directly comparable to YOCO's KREATIVMARKT and NACHTBAZAR with a similar business model of booth fees, curated exhibitor base, and craft-focused market positioning.
