The history of IMA Press began in the spring of 1989, when the Novosti Press Agency and the Union of Journalists of the USSR founded a new non-governmental organization, the Information Youth Agency – IMA in Russian – whose vital element was some of the most active and talented young journalists of the APN (Agency for Political News).
On that base the then-iconic IMA Press Publishing House grew, working together with highly talented designers and graphic artists. IMA Press printed their albums and books and organized events. Most of the publishing projects were innovative for their time. Many books that we have published have become collector’s items today.
IMA Press has expended over its twenty year operating history thanks to constantly growing demand and the complexity in work requested. The organization has added accomplished specialists to its staff and accumulated experience in solving problems at all levels of complexity. IMA Press today is an advertising agency and publishing house offering a full spectrum of advertising and communications services.
We have always held an active position in the market; we were a participant in shaping the standards of conducting business and consolidation of the market. In 1993, IMA Press was a co-founder of the Russian Association of Advertising Agencies (now the RACA – Russian Association of Communications Agencies), and since that time has been one of its most active and prominent members.
The agency’s assets include prizes and awards from numerous design and advertising competitions, both Russian and international.
