Anders Hørsholt, CEO Astralis A/S:
- To strengthen our overall business and position in the wide, vast and growing gaming audience, , we now launch a new modern media company together with some of the most experienced and creative minds in the media- and advertising industry. Blackbox Media will be a unique and independent actor in the media industry, giving Astralis a much larger palette of media to work with, and new opportunities vis-à-vis our existing and future commercial partners.
- In our work over recent years, we have seen a growing world of opportunities in a significantly larger and even more commercially mature market, which no one yet has really managed to embrace and exploit. Our ambition is that Blackbox Media will become that entity, being its own business and ultimately strengthening Astralis’ commercial promise and position, says Hørsholt.
