- Agora S.A. is a leading Polish media and entertainment company engaged in publishing daily newspapers and magazines; operating a cinema network; film production and distribution; radio broadcasting; digital marketing; outdoor advertising; and internet services. Its core products include the daily newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza, the free newspaper Metro, a portfolio of magazines, and a network of cinemas under the Helios brand. The company also operates NEXT FILM, specializing in film production and distribution, and AMS, which provides outdoor advertising solutions through urban furniture. Additionally, Agora manages 18 radio stations, including brands like Zlote Przeboje, Roxy FM, and Tok FM, as well as the internet radio station Tuba.fm. It also offers online portals such as Gazeta.pl, Sport.pl, and Blox.pl, alongside book publishing and retail activities. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Warsaw, Poland, Agora targets primarily the Polish market across multiple media segments.
In 2024 and 2025, Agora undertook significant strategic changes including the transformation into a holding company structure and the acquisition of a 100% stake in Eurozet, a leading Polish radio broadcaster, enhancing its revenue and cost synergies. The company also completed a spin-off of certain organized parts of its enterprise into separate entities, which boosted its revenues. Recently in December 2025, Agora sold all its shares in ROI Hunter for 6.5 million euros, reflecting portfolio optimization efforts. It further expanded its digital and multimedia offerings and strengthened its cinema and film production businesses. Agora remains focused on integrating its media assets to expand its commercial reach and maintain its position as Poland's top media group by commercial reach.
Agora operates primarily in Poland, serving broad consumer and advertising markets through its diversified media platforms. Its main business segments are Movies and Books comprising cinema operations, film production and distribution; Digital and Printed Press with newspapers and magazines publishing; Outdoor advertising via AMS; Internet with various online portals and digital products; and Radio broadcasting through its subsidiaries.
