We celebrate 10 years of goTom!
On September 11, we celebrated this special milestone exactly the way we like it best — surrounded by our customers, partners, and team members, with sunshine, BBQ, music, and great vibes by Lake Zurich. It was an evening full of memories, stories, and laughter — but most of all, a celebration of what truly defines goTom today: team spirit, closeness to the market, and a passion for innovation.
From a small idea to a platform powering europe’s leading publishers
Our story began back in 2015 — as a spin-off from Tamedia. Fast forward ten years, and that small idea has grown into a platform that has become an essential part of digital ad sales across Europe. Today, leading publishers and marketplaces such as Ringier, Teads, and Vend rely on goTom to manage their ad sales operations more efficiently, transparently, and collaboratively.
During his speech, our CEO Alban Grossenbacher emphasized:
Our journey makes us proud — seeing how an idea turned into a solution that supports publishers successfully across several markets.
10 years down, many more to come
Of course, an anniversary like this isn’t just a reason to look back — it’s also the perfect moment to look ahead. Because one thing’s certain: we’re just getting started. With new AI-driven features across CRM, order management, and billing, we’re preparing to take ad sales automation to the next level — supporting even more customers in digital advertising and the rapidly growing retail media space. Our mission remains the same as it was ten years ago: to make ad sales simple, transparent, and connected — empowering teams to focus on what truly matters: creating great campaigns.
A big thank you!
To all our customers, partners, and especially our amazing team — thank you for being part of this journey. You’ve made goTom what it is today, and we can’t wait to see where the next ten years will take us.
