How video sites are used in Switzerland

Goldbach has also commissioned a follow-up survey in 2021 based on the M1 Panel Survey (formerly the "Consumer Connections Study") conducted by Dentsu Aegis worldwide. The M1 Panel Survey is a proprietary survey conducted by Dentsu in over 60 markets. It is globally consistent while being locally relevant and representative of each market.

Over 1400 people from German- and French-speaking Switzerland aged 15 to 64 were surveyed on their use of various websites. Representative research results are thus available for the online media genre, based on weighted data and a high number of cases, which enables a direct comparison of the networks of different media houses. We have compiled the most important results for you below.
