German Language Targeting
German advertising refers to marketing efforts that target German Speaking populations of consumers. Advertising to German speaking audiences and targeting ads appropriate requires a couple of guidelines.
But is advertising to such a niche linguistic group (ie people who speak German) worth it in the food and wine industry? The German Langage “niche” may be more substantial than you think.

German Targeting in our Ad Server
When it comes to targeting German-speaker consumers with ads, there are two main things to keep in mind:
- Target people who have “German Language” set in their computer or mobile device, and
- Target people who are looking at website content that is in German.
If you pair these two targeting methods, you’ll maximize your overall audience reach. When it comes to the latter, in the context of food and wine marketing, you’ll want to target users who are viewing German or Austrian food recipes. This is especially so if your product is included in the ingredient list for the recipe in question.
