“Direct Media is a modern advertising agency that has many clients in several of the region’s countries, excellent relationships with TV networks and the media, and well-developed models for rolling out and monetizing local production and appealing content.

We are pleased that United Media recognized Direct Media’s values, ​and I believe that our joining forces will be a key factor in transforming the region towards the future of television advertising in the new digital age,” said Direct Media’s Chairman, Krasimir Guergov.
