Outlook 2021: confidence in the return to a stronger growth rate
Despite the health crisis linked to the Covid-19 epidemic, 2020 enabled Invibes Advertising to maintain double-digit revenue growth.
For 2021, which has just started, Invibes Advertising is confident that it will gradually return to a stronger growth rate, as the Group used to enjoy before the crisis. To achieve this, Invibes Advertising will rely on the strength of its European geographical footprint, drawing on the momentum of recently opened countries (UK, Italy, Belgium) combined with the strong development potential of countries already established such as Germany.
