Bauer Media Outdoor Belgium has been nominated at the official ceremony on March 11th at Domein Kattebroek as one of the Trends Gazelles 2026 for the Flemish Brabant province. This recognition, awarded annually by Trends, highlights companies that stand out due to strong, profitable, and sustainable growth over the past five years.

The companies were categorized into three groups: 50 small businesses, 80 medium-sized businesses, and 100 large businesses. In the latter category, we secured 24th place.

The selection is based on an analysis of financial statements using three objective criteria: value-added growth, workforce size, and cash flow.

Over the analysed period, we achieved:

• A 44% increase in value-added, reflecting the expansion of its business and its increased economic contribution.

• A 33% growth in workforce, confirming its employment growth and the development of new expertise, particularly in digital and data-driven OOH.

• A 48% increase in operational cash flow, demonstrating the financial strength of the model and its capacity for long-term investment.

This recognition comes at a time of accelerated transformation in the Out-of-Home market, marked by inventory digitization, the growing integration of programmatic sales (pDOOH), and an increased demand from advertisers for a high-performing mass medium.

"Being recognized as one of the Trends Gazelles in Flemish Brabant this year highlights our consistent growth and the trust of the market. This distinction is, above all, a source of great pride for our teams, whose expertise enables Bauer Media Outdoor to continue innovating, particularly in the field of digitalization," says Jan De Moor, Managing Director of Bauer Media Outdoor Belgium.

In addition to strong financial performance, the Trends Gazelle label is a powerful signal to the market: it positions Bauer Media Outdoor Belgium as one of the most dynamic companies in the province, across all sectors.

We also congratulate the winners in the different categories: Lima Verde (small businesses), Abritaxi (medium-sized businesses), and Nordic Info (large companies), who were named the 2026 Trends Gazellen Ambassadors for Vlaams-Brabant.
