The CEO’s narrative
The concept of “Media” originated with the founders of Obsidian, who also had deep insights into the affiliate space. We identified a market gap where competing affiliate sites were, in our view, operated unprofessionally and short-sightedly. We believed we could improve upon this by adopting a more professional, corporate, and customer-centric approach. By focusing on transparency and value creation for customers, and backed by strong financial resources, we were confident in our ability to capture market share.
Our assumptions proved largely correct. Through a buy-and-build strategy, we successfully consolidated the Scandinavian market within a few years. However, the process was more complex than anticipated, particularly in elevating acquired sites to our desired quality standards and streamlining the media portfolio into a well-managed, technologically advanced platform. A key factor in this success was establishing our office in Banja Luka, where we are privileged to work with highly talented specialists in content, research, AI, data, and development.
Today, we employ over 20 people across our offices in Denmark and Bosnia. We are among the market leaders in the Nordic consumer affiliate space and are poised to enter new markets. We reach millions readers annually, collaborate with over 1.000 webshops, and generate quality traffic and revenue on a no-cure/no-pay basis for our partners.
Finally, I am proud to say that we have played a role in consolidating and professionalizing this industry by doing things the right way.
