What NetInfo does

NetInfo EAD ("Нет Инфо" ЕАД) is a Bulgarian digital media company founded in 1998 and headquartered in Sofia, operating as a subsidiary of Nova Broadcasting Group, which itself is owned by United Group, a Southeast European telecommunications and media operator. The company runs a portfolio of 15+ owned-and-operated digital properties spanning news (Nova.bg, Vesti.bg, DarikNews.bg, Telegraph.bg), video entertainment (Vbox7.com, Nova Play), email (ABV.bg with 2M+ monthly active accounts), weather (Sinoptik.bg covering 80,000+ locations), sports (Gong.bg), lifestyle (Edna.bg, Oh, Na Mama!, DogsAndCats.bg), personal finance (Pariteni.bg), automotive (CarMarket.bg), and local marketplace (Grabo.bg). According to Gemius Bulgaria measurement, the portfolio reaches 80%+ of the Bulgarian internet audience with 3.43-3.78 million real users monthly, making NetInfo the country's leading digital media network.

The underlying technology stack centers on a digital advertising ecosystem featuring programmatic direct deals, DSP and DMP capabilities, behavioral targeting using Google Ads technology, and an AdWise self-serve CPC platform for retargeting across premium inventory. In February 2026, NetInfo launched NewsBuild.ai, an AI-powered editorial platform using Retrieval-Augmented Generation, developed in collaboration with Google and FT Strategies under the AI Launch Hub program and made available to external clients and partners. The company also operates 7Talents, an in-house MCN production company for original video content.

NetInfo's revenue model is primarily advertising-based: display advertising across IAB-standard formats (desktop and mobile banners, rich media, video, native ads), programmatic buying, branded content, retargeting via AdWise, and ABV.bg email promotion. A secondary revenue stream is marketplace commission from Grabo.bg, which serves over 10,000 local Bulgarian businesses. Go-to-market combines a direct enterprise sales team ([email protected]) for brand advertisers and a self-serve AdWise platform for smaller advertisers. The company employs 75 people across 10 Bulgarian cities and reports full GDPR compliance and IAB Transparency and Consent Framework participation.
