The Background
We’ve been living online since 1997 and for more than 13 years we nurtured our first creation: AUTO.CZ. It grew into the biggest automotive online media in the Czech Republic (with about 25 mil pageviews per month) and, as a result of its success, was acquired by Axel Springer AG during 2007-2010. Now it’s part of the Ringier Axel Springer Media family and for us, the founders, it’s time to take our next steps.
What we have learned
We have learned a lot throughout the many stages of our business experience. We‘ve faced hard but unique times during the inception of online business and the subsequent growth of our company. We’ve expanded into other countries, learned about working with the investors and, finally, for the last 3 years, we have become embedded in one of the largest European media companies.
The brands we’ve built up
We are not “just” publishers. We love internet technologies and coming up with new ideas. We’ve come up with a unique automotive PPC advertising system Autoklik, a community platform moje.auto.cz as well as our car video show Roadlook which was originally created solely for the on-line audience but was eventually aired on Czech TV, channel CT1.
