SDV Awards 2026: Dialog Marketing Is More Than Mailings
At the SDV Award 2026, 47 awards were handed out across 20 categories, celebrating excellence in Swiss dialogue marketing. In an interview, SDV representative Herr Huldi discussed the resilience of dialogue marketing, which represented 688 million CHF (17% of the classic Swiss advertising market) in 2025 according to the Stiftung Werbestatistik Schweiz. Huldi highlighted four major trends: the strategic importance of first- and zero-party data, cross-channel integration, generative AI boosting data analytics, and the physical mailing's resurgence due to digital fatigue. To combat industry challenges like shrinking budgets, client-side insourcing, and talent shortages, the SDV has launched a specialized dialog marketing crash course and updated its statutes to support individual memberships.
