We’re thrilled to announce that Ringier, one of Europe’s leading media companies, has officially gone live with Viafoura’s full suite of community engagement solutions.

Headquartered in Switzerland, Ringier has a legacy spanning more than 190 years and a portfolio of 130 companies across 19 countries. With iconic media brands like Blick, Beobachter, Cash, and Schweizer Illustrierte, Ringier continues to set the standard for trusted journalism and innovative storytelling.

After exploring multiple options, including building their own tool, Ringier selected Viafoura as the partner best equipped to deliver a modern, engaging community experience.

The onboarding and implementation process was smooth and well-supported by Viafoura’s Customer Success team. With clear documentation, proactive communication, and responsive rollouts, Ringier was able to transition seamlessly across web and app environments.

With Viafoura now live, Ringier’s audiences can enjoy a seamless commenting experience across web and native apps, follow more interactive and enjoyable conversations, receive personalized notifications that encourage return visits, and benefit from healthier discussions powered by AI-driven moderation.

Viafoura is giving our community the smart, modern, and engaging space it’s been waiting for.

Looking ahead, Ringier expects to see:

  • Increased community engagement and participation.
  • More return visits and daily sessions, fueled by notifications.
  • Time saved and improved efficiency for newsroom teams, thanks to AI-powered moderation.

At Viafoura, we’re honored to partner with a publisher of Ringier’s caliber. Their commitment to journalism, innovation, and community makes them an ideal partner as we expand across Europe.
