Swiss Radioworld to Rebrand as Goldbach Audio
Effective September 1, 2026, Swiss audio sales house Swiss Radioworld has officially rebranded as Goldbach Audio, aligning closely with parent company Goldbach Group (part of TX Group). Announced by Managing Director Ralf Brachat at Zurich's Radio Night event on August 26, the rebrand reflects the company's evolution from traditional radio to a digital audio ecosystem encompassing podcasts, streaming, and upcoming programmatic booking capabilities for linear radio launching this autumn. Despite the name change and a new sound logo, Goldbach Audio's core team, client contacts, and services remain completely unchanged, with no associated workforce reductions. Under Brachat's continued leadership, the transition aims to streamline cross-media campaign planning. The launch event concluded with a live performance by Swiss songwriter Marc Sway in partnership with Volvo.
A locally significant corporate rebrand in the Swiss audio/radio market (Swiss Radioworld → Goldbach Audio). Relevant for Swiss audio advertising and media-sales relationships but limited global AdTech impact.
