14% growth in sales Q4 2023
In Q4 2023, Invibes recorded a sales growth of +14%, confirming the upward trend seen in Q3 2023, after two quarters of decline.
The double-digit growth seen in the last quarter enabled Invibes to record a total growth of +3% over 2023.
The year 2023 has been divided into two phases:

• H1 impacted by the general slowdown in the digital advertising sector.
• two consecutive quarters of growth in the second half of the year, on the strength of solid, proven fundamentals and a unique positioning in the competitive landscape against a recovery in the strength of the sector over the period and thanks to its ability to monetise its innovations with the world's leading brands.
