"With GIPEDO we are able to work more efficiently and more flexibly – no Excel lists, no USB sticks, no endless email trails. The new partner portal makes it easier to work in partnership with sponsors and saves time and resources for both sides," said Joshua Lehr, head of pre-sales and product development B2B at Bayer 04.
Lars Gantenberg, co-founder and CEO at GIPEDO, sees in the new portal "a unique service from clubs for their partners. Sponsors have significantly more flexibility and opportunity, clubs benefit from efficient processes and development potential with their partners – a win-win situation for everybody involved."
The portal offers partners the opportunity to independently administer their animation advertising, share information flexibly and tailor individual communication. In addition, feedback and communication come entirely and directly via the portal, which can significantly reduce communication disruption.
Bayer 04 played a significant part in the design of the new portal as a development partner and has already successfully tested it in the current campaign with selected partners.
