Unfortunately, the year 2018 will remain the year of the murder of journalist Ján Kuciak, which reso- nated and still resonates across Slovak, but also foreign media. After these tragic events, the work of media and journalists has become much more intensely monitored by society. We have to believe that we are able to use this enormous power to help people in Slovakia live better. JOJ Media House had a very successful year and continues strengthening its significant position in the Central European media market. Advertising costs grew year on year, and we expect similar growth in the coming year. I consider the new regional periodicals “Petržalské noviny” and the very successful issue of five-year bonds in the past year as the most important events of our Group. The year 2018 was successful even in the outdoor advertising sector, as evidenced by the results of the Slovak, Czech and Austrian companies belonging to the Group. All outdoor companies have been bringing innovations that strengthen their market position. The Slovak Akzent BigBoard has prepared a new supplement for its clients for scheduling campaigns in the form of detailed maps of carriers. The Austrian Epamedia continues to invest in the development of digital advertising and is a model in environmental access. The Czech BigBoard Praha develops the link of outdoor and online advertising through the BigPlan tool via SMS/MMS remarketing OOH. TV JOJ has recorded the most successful year in its history in terms of sales. It also started selling online video ads in collaboration with the major local publishers – Ringier Axel Springer, News and Media Holding, and others – via the Valetin commercial online platform bringing together the premium Slovak online content. For Radio Services, it was important to continue the project RÁDIO FUNGUJE, which is a unique example of how competing actors can collaborate. We managed to organize together a 2nd year of the conference on radio advertising – RADIO RULLEZ 2018 Volume 2: Creativity, which was held in the Hotel Bratislava on 15 November 2018. In cooperation with the monthly “Stratégie”, we continue the competition “Rádio šupa”, by which we want to support the logging of radio spots into regular evalu- ation carried out by the monthly “Stratégie”. Our collaborative endeavor has also recorded success in the growth of investments in radio as a media type. In the next year, we want to continue fulfilling our vision of building a strong Central European media group. We will provide high-quality media services, improve product quality, and bring a range of interesting projects within each of our segments. In the JOJ Media House Group, the past year was characterized by the further development of our business and the excellent results, for which I would like to thank all employees. I would also like to thank our business partners and investors for their confidence and wish you all a successful year 2019.
