About IDG Czechoslovakia and their activities

The history of IDG Czechoslovakia is not very long; it was established shortly after the Revolution - in 1990. IDG Czechoslovakia started its business with the publication Computerworld, which was a black&white bi-weekly at that time. Then the local division of IDG took over the Elektronika monthly magazine and established another monthly - PC World.

Since then important progress has been made: today Computerworld is a color weekly and PC World added a Macworld supplement. The three publications have altogether received more than 60 000 readers until now. Since 1994 IDG Czechoslovakia has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the American IDG.

Publication activities are not the only basis of IDG Czechoslovakia's business. An important department that serves all of IDG's publications is TestCentrum, where IDG professionals test products distributed on the Czech market. The tests being made in the department and published in the IDG newspaper and magazines, help Czech and Slovak readers to orient themselves on the market easier.

The last (but not least) activity which could help the potential clients entering the Czech market is IDG's Marketing Department. The department provides services concerning advertising, marketing and public relations to its customers as well as organizing professional tradefairs and exhibitions.
