Events…
As the first international licensee of TimeOut, Ajans Medya published the first issue of TimeOut Istanbul in February 2001, and continued its publication ever since without interruption. In addition to publishing the monthly magazine, Ajans Medya also undertook the organization and execution of many TimeOut branded events, which were attended by thousands of TimeOut readers throughout the years.
