Hiring Market: Dario Piccinno named CEO and Partner at Publica4
Publica4 AG appointed Dario Piccinno as CEO and partner effective 1 July 2026. Piccinno brings more than 20 years' experience in the Swiss digital advertising market, including twelve years focused on High Impact Advertising. Publica4, founded in 2012 and converted from a GmbH to an AG last year, positions itself as a specialised technology and production partner for High Impact Advertising with its own platform and integrations to Swiss premium publishers. Piccinno previously founded The Industry AG (later acquired by YOC), built YOC’s Swiss operations and most recently served as Commercial Director (Yaleo) at Audienzz. Oliver Anderegg, founder and chairman of Publica4, commented on the transition from competitor to partner and endorsed Piccinno's plans to grow the company's quality and client service offering.
Leadership appointment at a Swiss AdTech vendor with deep industry experience; relevant regionally to High Impact Advertising and publisher partnerships but not a major industry-altering event.
