Beatrice Schmidt, Managing Director of WEKA Industrie Medien GmbH
Beatrice Schmidt has been managing the company since 2021:
Our company is built on four pillars. These are print, web, events and services. Services include agency, corporate publishing and TV/streaming. We continue to generate the majority of revenue in the print sector, which accounts for 55% of total revenue. Here we have grown slightly again since the coronavirus. The remaining 45% is split equally between the other three revenue areas.
During the pandemic, the newly launched event streaming service was already generating around €1 million a year, according to the company, but the end of the coronavirus period saw business collapse completely as real events resumed.
