PRESIDENT’S
If 2009 made us feel the tough effects of the global economic crisis, 2010 made us smarter and stronger. The ad market’s continuing decrease, 10% down on 2009, challenged us to reshape our business, improve efficiency and unleash creativity. We have thus consolidated our TV division, introducing a new operational platform – Antena Group. This newly created entity unites three of our top TV brands, Antena1, Antena2 and Euforia TV enabling a better multibrand strategy and resource capitalization. Online is a constant focus for us and we achieved 140% growth in this area, whilst strengthening our radio presence, with a solid 40% up . It was a challenging year for our print operations, but this encouraged us to expand our brands online, responding to our public needs. The move to a new building brought us closer together and will help us work better and more efficiently. Whilst 2011 will require of us even more creativity and dedication, I believe that, through all the hard work done so far, we are in a good position, fiscally, operationally and strategically. We will continue to invest in valuable multiplatform content, while at the same time reducing the cost base. If there's a bright side to the current global crises, it is the new opportunity they present for the media industry in general. As technology is changing, so does consumer behavior, translating into new revenue possibilities. I believe this transition period to be a natural process, an evolution advancing from the current phase to a superior one. We cannot elude the change

and stay relevant. We have to adapt, without altering our essence. To us, true journalism is a mission, not an opportunity. We have created some of the most respected and trusted brands in the Romanian media market. During 2010, we reinforced our management team, readjusted our budgets and realigned our whole approach to our clients needs. We have also introduced new and exciting experiences for our public - locally adapted formats as well as original series, daring campaigns, print premieres such as augmented reality or 3D pages and out–of- the box solutions for our partners. Moreover, we have taken our role in the community very seriously, helping those in times of trouble through our charitable foundations. While continuing to do what we excel in, creating relevant content and innovative services for our clients, we will keep growing organically. 2011 will see the launching of two new TV brands, as well as taking a big step forward from content providers to distribution services. 2011 will certainly be a difficult year, but I am confident that media is a solid business and the content we create can be relevant on any platform. With 20 years of expertise in the market and a suite of leading brands, we are looking forward to giving a new dimension to our talent, initiative and vision. Our reputation obliges us to do that.

VALUES “INTACT Media Group is shaping the Romanian media audience every day for over 20 years … it’s now our job to integrate and deploy interactive services to the TV screen and across all media channels. “ Radu Pop, CIO, Open Media Network (OMN)

INTACT Media Group means strength and power. The power to reach 10 million people every day, through all its brands. The power to generate relevant information and keep its public well informed. The power to help and to change for the better people’s lives. The power to be part of the society’s evolution and to create new content platforms. The power to move to the next level.
A national survey held in July 2010 established a total reach of 10 million people per day for all Intact’s entities. At the same time, there are 14 million Romanians who watch, listen to or read our products every week. This means 64% of the Romanian population is reached by one of our products on a daily basis.
INTACT Media Group is a strong, flexible and dynamic business entity in perpetual strategic and structural development. December 2010 signaled an operational consolidation for Antena1, Antena2 and Euforia TV, with the three companies coming together on a common platform, Antena Group. The newly created entity doesn’t affect the identity of the respective brands, but has the advantage of coordinated strategy for content, marketing and technical operations.
ST R
INTACT has also repositioned its whole organizational structure, with a new board of administration in place, coordinating all the businesses across the portfolio. The end of 2010 brought the much anticipated relocation to a new building, INTACT Media Center. The new location gathers a large part of the operational teams from TV, B2B and online areas, providing better communication and an improved working environment. Moreover, the building is an architectural landmark in Bucharest, thus a representative headquarters for this prestigious media centre.

RELEVANT
INTACT Media Group is relevant for its public and business partners through its fresh, genuine and customized approach. In its 20 years presence on the market, the group has delivered valuable content, witnessed important social changes, been an intrinsic part of public life while constantly growing together with its partners. All of this was possible through the professionalism, dedication and inspiration of its team underpinned by a solid business platform. INTACT has created many benchmarks along the way, and 2010 was no exception. With a revitalized news team, the biggest names in entertainment and true business leaders, the group delivered what it excels at: meaningful content and proven audience appreciation. From the entertainment blockbuster of the summer (The Bachelor – Burlacul, Antena1), to the most celebrated journalists (Antena3), the boldest campaigns (What would you do for 10.000 Euro, Radio ZU) to the most dynamic multibrand platform (www.gsp.ro) or the biggest growth of a Romanian media site (www.a1.ro, www.intactinteractive.ro), INTACT’s final product stands for performance.

“For 20 years, INTACT Media Group has stood for courage to dream big and ambition to fulfill these dreams. All this, in the spirit of progress and generosity.� Rodica Minculescu, General Manager, Romantic FM and Radio ZU
Serious involvement in the social area and appreciation for national culture or successful events focused on customs and traditions. INTACT Media Group is the most consistent Romanian media platform. A family business, owned by Romanians for Romanians, the group has strong ties with country’s realities and values.
Mereu Ap roa pe Foun dation
Its strong connection to the Romanian spirit is grounded in Jurnalul Național’s campaigns, from “Mișcarea de Rezistență”, a resistance movement to combat elements of society that undermine Romanian values to the appreciation for national culture or successful events focused on customs and traditions. The genuine concern for Romanian realities is demonstrated by INTACT’S serious involvement in the social arena. “Apa trece, România rămâne” was a huge campaign during the summer of 2010 which raised over 1 million Euro for the people left in need after the floods wreaked havoc across the Eastern side of the country. Last but not least, INTACT Media Group takes pride in its team, the driving force of its evolution. 20 years after the foundation stone was laid, INTACT has the best professionals, highly profiled in journalism, production and management. The family spirit stays at the core of Intact’s beliefs, with more than 100 people working in the group for over 15 years.

INTACT BROADCAST IN 2010 12 out of 20 entertainment shows on the market are Antena1’s productions.
CHANNEL GROWTH 2010 implied, more than ever, investment in content and people. Shiny premieres, reinforcements, talented leaders and involved teams, market share growth, resonant campaigns, original ideas. All of this built on a solid and dynamic platform, relevant to the public and to the business community. The broadcast division includes a variety of niches, tailored to respond to all the information and entertainment needs. The valuable content and the reaction rate are of permanent focus to us, as it is the permanent quest of creative solutions for the companies which choose to convey their messages on our platform. 2010 has also confirmed new content benchmarks, through Antena1’s early fringe-access-late night daily shows, Antena3’s prime-time, leader on the TV news&current afairs scene (33% up vs. 2009), Antena2’s original programming or Radio ZU’s morning show, Bucharest’s absolute favorite program. The new productions played an important role in each station’s share growth rate as well as in securing new content benchmarks . From the most popular show of the summer, Burlacul (Antena1) to the new telenovela (“Narcisa Sălbatică”, Antena1), the prank show “Plasa cu stele” (Antena1) or the reality show “Nunta cu stil “(Euforia), all the fresh content shows the programming department’s care in fostering our brands. 2010 marked a change in the organizational structure, with the companies representing Antena1, Antena2 and Euforia TV merging into one legal entity, Antena Group. This is a strategic move which sees a better operational synergy across the TV platform, without interfering with the brands identities. The broadcast division has in store a number of spectacular new productions, a fresh approach to the news concept, relevant campaigns which resonate with the real community issues and two new channel launches in 2011.
Antena1, the flagship channel in the group’s portfolio, kept the promise of staying close to its public by introducing a newly improved identity meant to reflect the station’s positioning: the TV channel which helps turning an ordinary house into a real home. The development and implementation of this project took almost 8 months, during which Antena1’s team worked closely with the reputed creative company Red Bee Media. The station held its leadership title in local entertainment, with shows such as “Burlacul “(The Bachelor, Antena1, the hit production of the summer, with an average share of 17,2%). Other fresh formats included: ”În puii mei”, “Marele câștigător”, “Singur cu vedeta”, “Star avatar”, “Bun de cinste” or “Comanda la mine”. The re-launch of the daily show “Access Direct” with the news journalist Simona Gherghe brought an extra dose of credibility, relevance and glamour to this production. Anticipating the public appetite for good stories, September saw the launching of “Narcisa sălbatică”, a telenovela co-written by the famous Argentinian actor Gabriel Corrado. The production shortly became the public’s favorite on its time slot (average share of 10.5%). The main news bulletin, Observator19, witnessed a facelift and came back stronger, with a new editorial team and a new host, Andreea Berecleanu, a symbolic presence for Antena1. The big plans for 2011 include new formats such as “Minute to win it” or “Next top model”.

One of the major projects was the re-branding of Scandia Food, the incontestable leader in the Romanian canned meat market. The re-branding program was completed in 8 months, after many internal workshops with senior management that helped Seed Consultants’ team to articulate a new brand promise: Life full of savor! and a new and fresh brand identity.

Professionalism, expertise, objectivity, reliability – these are the standards INTACT Media Group has been living by in its 20 years on the market. In an ever changing economic, social and politic environment and beyond the unenduring race for market share, INTACT Media Group has managed to make its mark on the Romanian media market in consequence of content quality and respect for its public – readers, viewers or listeners. This performance was achieved thanks to everyone who is part of the INTACT family. Happy anniversary to everybody!
Cătălin Tolontan General Manager, Gazeta Sporturilor As a group, INTACT is decent and discreet, a trait which is good for a person and not necessary good for a company. Success has always been met naturally, quite unusual for a big media conglomerate. I have always wondered what lies beneath this tranquility, which has nothing to do with numbers. For a person, it could be the serenity of not being quotable at the perfection stock exchange. For a company, I have to admit INTACT’s advantage of being at peace with itself.
Bogdan Strătulă Channel Manager, Antena 1
As celebration bells are chiming/ I would like to sign a pact/ That you’ll always keep on shining/ Happy birthday to INTACT!
Șerban Barbato, General Manager, MSGroup 20 years, easy to say, hard to cover, with all the good and bad facets. To understand INTACT, you have to be there, to get involved, to care and to let it become part of your life. You have to cross the boundary of a common job and believe in your convictions. The 7 years spent in the INTACT family mean a priceless, unique school. If I could turn back time, I wish my 7 year-experience had started…20 years ago!
Rodica Minculescu General Manager, Romantic FM and ZU
For 20 years, INTACT Media Group has stood for courage to dream big and ambition to fulfill these dreams. All this, in the spirit of progress and generosity. Happy anniversary, INTACT Media Group!
Radu Pop CIO, Open Media Network (OMN) As New Media is booming the use of interactive media services is becoming incredibility effective in raising awareness, sales, promoting interaction and increasing TV audience engagement. INTACT Media Group is shaping the Romanian media audience every day for over 20 years…it’s now our job to integrate and deploy interactive services to the TV screen and across all media channels.
Mirela Albu Channel Manager, Antena 2 Half plus one…out of the 20 years, therefore, 11 years of my life, in INTACT Media Group. I have grown here as a television professional, I have had the chance to produce emblematic shows in the history of Romanian television (Din Dragoste, Academia vedetelor, Jocurile de la Saint Tropez etc), I have had the shot at creating a new TV channel, Antena 2, which makes me proud and which is consolidating its position in the market. I trust it has been a winning partnership for both parties. Everyone seeks a balance between work and enjoyment, but the secret is to enjoy your work, so I am trying to implement this postulate throughout the whole structure of Antena2. I believe in the strength of this Group and I am certain that the road to success is connected to a good relationship matrix, at all levels. Our To quote Jim Stovall,” if you are aware of custom what the others are doing, you can cross media acclaim their efforts, credit their solution and achievements and encourservice is called age them to reach their “Interactive Media objectives, so that it’s Services Network”. all about Traditional ways to advertise will become less and less effective. Now, people can get instant information about certain products or promotions easier via their mobile phones. The applications of interactive media services is virtually endless.

Sabina Petre, Executive Director Antena 3, General Manager GSP TV 20 years. The age of endless posibilities, hope and dreams, finding one’s way in life and a time of big decisions. For a person, it’s the age of great pespectives, for a company, it’s the age of acknowledgement and maturity. I’m part of a team which gives me, every day, the feeling that I can be forever young. I enjoy sharing with them my passion and experience, knowing that I get in return all their dedication and enthusiasm. I haven’t been with INTACT for the whole 20 years, but I can honestly say that, since I joined the team, I
have found the right place and the right people. We meet each morning to set things on course and enjoy the outcome of our work in the evening. It is an intense, demanding but extremely fulfilling job. INTACT is a place full of passionate people and a place where dreams can come true.

Twenty years ago, Journalists didn’t have any mobile phones or computers. They had no idea what Internet was and didn’t own a car. They only had a pen, a notebook and a longing desire to discover… In addition, they genuinely believed that they would change the world! Twenty years ago, everyone was searching for their path in life: a family, a career or a new business – it was the moment when everything had to change:
TV, radio, online, print,apps, services – from mobile to BTL and production, INTACT has come a long way since its 1991 launch on the market. It has remained true to its vision of shaping the Romanian media industry and driving innovation and change. Through its constant organic growth and evolution it has become diverse and popular, celebrating valuable content on each of its platforms. My first year at the helm of I N TA C T ’s flagship
