Goldbach Interactive

What Goldbach Interactive does

Goldbach Interactive, operating commercially as "dreifive," is a privately held full-service digital marketing agency headquartered in Zürich, Switzerland, with additional offices in Konstanz, Munich, and Vienna. The firm employs over 120 specialists delivering integrated digital marketing services across six pillars: Consulting (digital strategy), Social Media Marketing (community management, content, paid social, messenger marketing, and social listening), Kreation & Produktion (creative production), Search Engine Marketing (paid search, SEO, Generative Engine Optimization, Amazon advertising, and App Store Optimization), Usability & Analytics, and Media Advertising (programmatic, email, and Connected TV). The agency's underlying technology stack consists of standard third-party digital advertising platforms (Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft Advertising, Channable, Jentis) rather than proprietary infrastructure, with services delivered via certified expertise across these ecosystems.

The company serves enterprise and mid-market clients across the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) with a documented roster of 60+ named clients spanning retail (C&A, IKEA Schweiz, Coop), insurance (Baloise, Allianz Österreich), automotive (Volvo, ÖAMTC), technology (Samsung, Samsung Electronics Austria), consumer goods (Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Bayer), and other sectors. Revenue is generated through project-based and multi-year retainer engagements billed as professional services (consulting fees, media management fees, and creative production charges); pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is consultative, sales-led, and supported by partner ecosystem referrals from Google (Premier Partner), Meta (Business Partner), and Microsoft (Elite Partner with Sustainability Champion status).
