PR & Market Entry in Russia
We help international companies and agencies build visibility and credibility through editorial media coverage and local communication strategy.
We are one of the leading PR agencies in Russia for Chinese, Indian, and the Middle East countries. Large PR agencies turn to us for the local placements to help their clients from gaming, consumer electronics, automotive and other industries.
We focus primary on editorial business placements in media, leading industry and trade publications, technology and manufacturing portals, as well as regional business outlets with strong economic influence.
-
Editorial media relations focus on securing earned media coverage through journalists and editors — without paid placement, advertising labels, or sponsored content.
We work within the editorial frameworks of Russian and German media, where publication decisions are based on: newsworthiness, industry relevance, factual verification, editorial approvalю
-
Expert commentary and interviews position company executives, founders, and technical specialists as credible industry voices within the local media ecosystem. This format is especially effective in Russia and Germany, where journalists actively seek expert opinions for analytical materials and market coverage.
-
Press releases and opinion articles (Op-eds) are structured communication formats used to introduce companies, projects, or viewpoints to the local media market. Unlike distribution platforms, we adapt all materials to editorial requirements, not promotional templates.
