Key stats
Switzerland enacted a revised Federal Act on Data Protection (nFADP) in force from 1 September 2023, aligning closely with GDPR but with some differences. B2B cold email is possible under legitimate interest. Switzerland is not an EU member, so EU GDPR does not apply directly — the nFADP is the applicable law.
Directors are among the most accessible senior decision makers — they are hands-on evaluators without the EA filtering common at C-suite. Sales Director and Marketing Director have reply rates above 5%, making them top-performing cold email targets. Legal Director and General Counsel have below-average reply rates and respond better to LinkedIn outreach.

Yes, under legitimate interest. Switzerland's nFADP (in force September 2023) aligns closely with GDPR. B2B cold email is possible under legitimate interest for corporate email addresses. Notably, nFADP fines target individuals (employees, managers) not companies, capped at CHF 250,000 — lower financial risk than GDPR jurisdictions. Include opt-out in every email.
Director Level titles average a 3.42% reply rate in B2B cold email campaigns (Woodpecker 2024). Switzerland market conditions add context: Switzerland has a high-income but conservative business market. Finance (Zurich), pharma (Basel), and watchmaking (Geneva) are the key B2B sectors. English works in Zurich's international finance scene; German is preferred in Swiss German business contexts. nFADP (Sept 2023) aligns with GDPR but fines target individuals — lower risk for B2B outreach.. Sequence length of 4-5 touches over 21 days is recommended.
