Picnic Targets Top Spot in German Online Grocers
Dutch online supermarket Picnic is expanding rapidly in Germany and expects to reach an annualized revenue of €1 billion by the end of the current fiscal year, after reporting €774 million for 2025 (a 32% year-on-year increase). The company, present in over 230 German cities with more than 2,300 electric delivery vehicles, attributes part of its growth to a partnership with Edeka, which now holds a stake above 30%. Picnic keeps a modest advertising posture: some tasks are handled by agency Unbound Media while social and Google media buying is managed in-house. Paid media investments focus on social channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), Google, out-of-home, radio and streaming. Picnic emphasizes free delivery, price promise and app convenience as core marketing messages.
Picnic launches family-focused media campaign
Dutch online supermarket Picnic has launched a multi-market advertising campaign to support its push for market leadership in Germany and a stated revenue target of €1 billion this year. The campaign — running in Germany, France and the Netherlands and starting regionally around 4 September (with later starts in some Bavarian regions) — centers on recipe content to address meal planning for young families. The media mix combines platform-specific short-form video on Meta, TikTok, Pinterest and YouTube, Connected TV placements (Disney+, Prime Video, Joyn, RTL+, Netflix), regional radio, programmatic DOOH (via a DSP), and a second test of podcast ads on Spotify. Creative work was produced in-house; Düsseldorf-based agency Unbound Media supports media buying for non-social channels. Picnic said it is active from Düsseldorf in over 250 German cities with 2,300 e-vans and set a reach objective of around 400 million contacts across channels; budget was not disclosed.
Picnic Launches Optimised PMPs with Placement-Level Quality Data
Picnic, an inventory quality platform for digital advertising, has launched Optimised PMPs, private marketplace deals that use placement-level quality data to inform bidding decisions and pricing, with the goal of achieving specific campaign objectives. Buyers select from four objectives: brand lift, quality traffic, video views, and effective reach. The platform activates PIQ data through a single PMP in their existing DSP, while curators can access quality-shaped supply via PIQ segments. The technology integrates PIQ data within the SSP container, matching bid requests to PlacementIDs, and uses custom algorithms to adjust delivery based on the value of each placement. This approach moves beyond clicks and viewability, addressing distribution of spend. Picnic cites earlier campaign results showing improved brand awareness and engagement on high-quality inventory compared to low-quality.
