Advertising and Media

Media and communications are among the most attractive areas for investment. The most popular segments of the media market today are mobile applications, social media, video games and multimedia. Network platforms that use user-generated content and media content uploadable by users (blogs, profiles on social networks, etc.) deserve special attention.

Traditional media, including periodic press, TV channels, radio channels and others are also evolving. New advertising methods appear constantly — be they online (on blogs, banners, content advertisements), through mobile network (SMS advertisements), in computer games (casual advertising), in films and video clips (hidden advertisement and product placement) or indoor and outdoor adverts (LCD displays).
