EOM's portfolio includes some of the most popular websites in the Czech Republic, including eXtra.cz, one of the largest Czech websites, Lifee.cz, a women's and lifestyle website, and Toprecepty.cz, the number one cooking and recipe website in the Czech Republic.

The origin of the Burda phenomenon
The history of Burda today dates to the first half of the 20th century. It all started in Germany when Aeanne Burda, convinced her husband, Franz Burda, to buy the small fashion publishing house Effi. In January 1950, the first issue of Burda Moden was published. In 1961, with a circulation of 1.2 million, Burda becomes the largest fashion magazine in the world. For many women, Aenne Burda became a symbol of success, the "American dream" in the German way. She is as much a twentieth-century fashion icon as Coco Chanel or Estée Lauder.
Today, Hubert Burda Media has 327 magazines in its portfolio worldwide. The holding also includes Burda International CZ.
