Publidirecta

What Publidirecta does

Publidirecta is a Spanish direct marketing agency founded in 1991 in Madrid, offering an integrated portfolio of door-to-door advertising distribution (buzoneo), promotional event staffing (azafatas/promotoras), online printing, geomarketing consulting, signage installation, sampling, street marketing, and mystery shopping. The company's core distribution engine rests on 72 warehouses and 13 regional offices covering Spain, Portugal, and Andorra, with a talent pool of more than 25,000 vetted promoter profiles.

The underlying technology platform is a GIS-based geomarketing system paired with a proprietary Field Control Mobile Application launched in 2015. The mobile app provides real-time GPS tracking of field workers, geolocalized photography, geo-surveys and forms, geo-chat, geo-reports, and a live reporting dashboard that pushes data directly into clients' CRM/ERP systems. Clients receive four daily campaign reportings covering distribution locations, routes, acceptance levels, and geolocalized images. Technical differentiation is concentrated in field-execution visibility rather than AI-driven decisioning.

The business model is professional-services-led with direct sales across regional offices and self-service online quote requests. Pricing is quote-based by campaign (example: 169.28 EUR ex-VAT for 5,000 DIN A4 flyers), with free graphic design bundled into printing orders above 10,000 units when distribution is also contracted. Customer segments include local and regional SMBs across retail, healthcare, and services, alongside national enterprise brands such as Telefónica, Santander, BBVA, Repsol, Ferrovial, Bridgestone, Sony, Knorr, and Swatch. The hybrid SMB-plus-enterprise mix, combined with diversified verticals, suggests a broadly distributed revenue base rather than reliance on a small number of anchor accounts.
