A problem solving media consultancy


We get ahead of your problems with our proactive consultancy approach. May it be timing, distribution, language or any logistical barriers, we not only execute ideas, but if need be, we always ask the question of how to best deliver your message.

Photo and video at no extra cost


Your press release can be distributed with unlimited numbers of photos, videos and soundbites, at no extra cost. Including visual content in a press release provides brands with an attractive, versatile, and extremely shareable medium to reach their audiences.
