What we do

Four disciplines. One standard of proof.

Every service starts with what can be substantiated. We don't manufacture attention — we make the case that earns it.

PR & media relations

Coverage built on a real story and a real reason to run it. We brief journalists with substance, not spin, and we tell you when there isn't a story yet.

Brand strategy

Positioning that holds up under scrutiny. We define what a brand can defensibly claim, then make that the centre of how it speaks.

Thought leadership

Not opinions for the sake of visibility, but arguments worth a reader's time. Ghost-written to sound like the person, evidenced enough to be quoted.

GEO — visibility in AI answers

Generative Engine Optimization: making sure the brand is represented accurately when AI assistants answer questions about its category. New territory, handled with the same rigour as the rest.

Service · AI visibility audit

Can AI engines actually read your site?

A short, plain-language check of how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and the rest see — or don't see — your business. No jargon, no upsell. Just what's there, and what isn't.

⚠ The problem

AI engines can't read your site right now.

When someone asks an assistant about your category, you're not in the answer — not because you lack credibility, but because the page isn't built for a machine to parse.

Q: “Best [your category] firms in Romania?”

✕ Your brand isn't mentioned
✓ Solved

See what the machines see. Then fix it.

  • A report of how AI engines currently describe you — in their words, not ours.
  • The specific reasons you're invisible: unstructured content, missing claims, no machine-readable facts.
  • A prioritised fix list your developer can action directly.
  • A re-check after the changes, so the improvement is measured, not assumed.
How we work

A sequence, not a pitch.

Each step depends on the one before it. We don't move to the next until the current one holds.

Listen

We start with what's true about the business — the position it can actually defend.

Frame

From that, we shape a message a journalist would want to run and a reader would believe.

Place

We take it to the right outlets, with the right people, at a time it stands a chance.

Measure

Then we report what happened plainly — what worked, what didn't, what's next.
