PRAGUE (April 1, 2020) – Autofox introduces a range of activities to help combat the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19 disease. At the same time, Autofox is introducing a new brand dedicated to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities – Autofox Helps.

Autofox News service will temporarily include reports from automotive companies and organizations that somehow help combat the new coronavirus. These will be public news, i.e. texts in unchanged form and thus published under the sub-brand Autofox Public News.

“I believe that we will inspire other companies to help the pandemic disappear as soon as possible. Therefore, we have prepared a thank you to companies, which should help them to overcome this difficult business period,” Marek Balla, Managing Director of Autofox, said.

Autofox temporarily offers companies unlimited and free use of Autofox Advert advertising services, so they can place multimedia adverts in six areas – Autofox Job, Autofox Event, Autofox Estate, Autofox Enterprise, Autofox Offer and Autofox Order – for free.

The Autofox Offer service designed to promote companies, their products (especially those in stock) and services or spare capacities should become the leader of company interest. Some companies or people could use the Autofox Job service as part of outplacement programs. Free facilities for sale or rent can be advertised through the Autofox Estate service. The Autofox Event service can be then used to promote events, especially in the online version.

Banner advertising will also be included in the Autofox Helps program. "We are offering free banner areas to governmental and non-governmental organizations currently helping to combat coronavirus," Marek Balla mentioned. Autofox will provide companies with a 50% discount on the Autofox Banner service for the coming weeks.

This special offer is conditional on sending materials in English and/or Czech to the traditional email addresses listed at Autofox website in the Contacts section. The offer is valid until further notice.

“CSR activities are not new to Autofox. Already in 2013, we published the activities of companies during the floods in Czechia as part of Autofox News. At that time, we issued a series of reports, where companies would mainly lend vehicles for free, provide material and financial gifts, or organize collections. We have now included all of our eight services in the Autofox Helps program, and more will be added soon,” Marek Balla concluded, adding that Autofox is considering other options and is also open to the suggestions of its users.
