As of May 16th, 2016, Ringier Axel Springer Slovakia and Azet.sk
have joined their advertising sales departments under a new brand:
Media Impact Slovensko, following the announcement to enter a merger
agreement between both companies in June 2016. The new integrated
advertising sales unit will offer its clients 360-degree advertising
as well as cross-media services. Media Impact Slovensko will be led
by Michal Zatkuliak as Sales Director.

The joint efforts of both sales departments will operate under the
brand Media Impact Slovensko (www.mediaimpact.sk). The new
organization will be located in Bratislava and will be able to offer
customized advertising solutions, featuring innovative advertising
products such as native and web video advertising. Its portfolio is
made up of strong print and online brands, reaching the vast majority
of users in Slovakia, including 11 print titles and more than 50
digital media. Michal Zatkuliak, in the newly established executive
position of Sales Director, will lead the sales area at Media Impact
Slovensko, while the position of Sales Director for print will remain
with Roman Fülöp.

Milan Dubec, CEO Ringier Axel Springer Slovakia: "With the launch
of Media Impact Slovensko, we become part of the regional Media
Impact network and will use this competitive advantage for providing
state of the art advertising services to our clients. The digital
world is nowadays linked with creativity, content, native,
programmatic advertising and web video advertising within all
platforms. Our long-term director of online sales Michal Zatkuliak,
one of the top experts in digital advertising within the region, will
lead the integrated advertising-sales department under the brand
Media Impact in Slovensko."

Media Impact Slovensko follows a concept first introduced in
August 2013 by launching Media Impact Polska, followed by Media
Impact Srbija in 2015. As new member of this network, Media Impact
Slovensko has access to international know-how in providing
cutting-edge technology-based solutions for digital publishing and
advertising as well as broad reach and strong online and print
brands.
