In addition to selling magazine and online advertising spaces, our Central Content division – synthesizing the knowledge and creativity of our various organizational units – provides innovative content solutions for our commercial clients in three areas: Content Marketing, Video & Podcast and Custom Publishing.

Authentic and quality content production as well as training our colleagues or those interested in media are of paramount importance to our company, which is why we launched the Central Digital Academy in September 2022. During the 4-month traineeship programme, 13 young people had the opportunity to expand their knowledge in journalism, digital marketing and media studies.      

Our CSR policy focuses on improving the education of young people and supporting disadvantaged children.

In addition, we consider it our duty to support the work of organizations helping the lives of disadvantaged people. Therefore, from time to time we stand by a good cause/organization. In 2022, among other things, in connection with the Ukraine-Russia conflict, we provided support to the staff of the independent Ukrainian press and to Migration Aid, which helped refugees and continues to help them now.
