Dr. Oetker Tops TV Reach via Sat.1
Dr. Oetker delivered the strongest gross TV reach in Germany for the week of 17–23 August 2026, according to All Eyes On Screens data. The advertiser ran 1,217 spot airings and achieved 723.32 XRP in the evaluated Vodafone households, promoting multiple products (pizza, lemon cake, Paradies-Creme and “High Fibre” drinks). Nearly 40% of Dr. Oetker’s total gross reach came from Sat.1, and 76.5% of its reach ran across ProSiebenSat.1 channels (Seven.One Media), with the remainder via the Ad Alliance. By contrast, shoe retailer Deichmann reached roughly 404 XRP and placed its entire TV budget exclusively with the Ad Alliance. Sky’s Bundesliga advertising (including Sky self-promo in pay TV) ranked Sky second in the brand ranking for the period.
Weekly measured TV-buy and reach data reveal concrete media-buying patterns (heavy use of Sat.1 and ProSiebenSat.1; Deichmann’s exclusive Ad Alliance buy) useful for media planners and sales houses, but not industry-shifting.
