What Thesstoday does

Thesstoday (ThessToday.gr) is a privately held Greek regional digital news portal focused on Thessaloniki and the broader Central Macedonia region. It is operated by Financial Markets Voice Α.Ε., a Greek Ανώνυμη Εταιρεία (public limited company structure, unlisted), with Nikolaos Manesiotis serving as Chairman & CEO and primary shareholder. The portal publishes free-access content across five main verticals: society (ΚΟΙΝΩΝΙΑ), politics (ΠΟΛΙΤΙΚΗ), economy (ΟΙΚΟΝΟΜΙΑ), sports (ΑΘΛΗΤΙΚΑ), and lifestyle (LIFE), with sub-coverage of multiple Thessaloniki-area municipalities and local sports franchises (PAOK, Aris, Iraklis).

The underlying technology is a standard WordPress content management platform (favicon and logo assets hosted under /wp-content/uploads/2026/04/) delivering a web portal at thesstoday.gr. Distribution extends across Facebook (@Thesstoday2), Instagram, TikTok (@thesstoday.gr), YouTube (@Thesstoday), and Google News. The company publishes in Greek, has no mobile app, no disclosed APIs or SDKs, and offers no subscription or paid product. Legal headquarters are at Τοσίτσα 17, Εξάρχεια, Athens, with a general office in Thessaloniki supporting editorial operations; headcount is 11–50.

The business model is advertising-only, generating revenue from display advertising, sponsored content placements, and digital marketing services. There are no enterprise customers, no paid subscriptions, and no B2B pricing tiers disclosed. The single named revenue stream is dependent on advertising spend in a regional Greek digital media market, with no diversification into events, paid newsletters, e-commerce, or affiliate commerce evident in the source data. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional investors.
