"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.
About GIPEDO:
The tech start-up GIPEDO started in January 2022 with their first product, the GIPEDO marketplace plus TV perimeter advertising in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2. Since then there have been significant additions to the platform that now includes support for clubs and advertisers with automated sales and purchase of advertising campaigns in sport plus the provision of data and media KPIs for marketing decisions. This is based on software solutions that allow clubs to administer and control their whole media advertising portfolio.

A simple approach to sport with games, fun and a highlight at the end: Bayer 04 organised a very special training session for 40 participants aged between six and 27 in cooperation with the Football Association of the Middle Rhine (FVM). At the day of action for women and girls with disabilities at the Kurtekotten Performance Centre, many of the participants gained their first experience of football.

Less than a year ago, Kerim Alajbegovic moved from the Bayer 04 U19s to Austrian top-flight club FC Red Bull Salzburg. The forward’s development since then has been impressive. In 36 matches, including in the UEFA Europa League, the 18-year-old has scored 14 goals. In the summer, Alajbegovic, now a Bosnia international, will return to Leverkusen - and thus not only achieve the next milestone still early in his career, but also enrich the Werkself squad with his footballing versatility and determination.
