Brand story PR
We develop and promote a brand story: mission, values, the founder's/company's journey, a narrative for media and the audience. Honestly and bluntly upfront, and as a matter of principle: the story must be TRUTHFUL — we do not invent a legend that contradicts reality (an invented story will be exposed and hit trust). A brand story builds perception, trust and awareness in the LONG RUN but does not equal sales. Distribution through media does not guarantee reach/publications. Without deception and without promises of sales.
Brand story PR — overview
Brand story PR is the development and promotion of a brand narrative: identifying the real story/mission/values (through interviews with founders, facts, context), formulating a compelling but truthful narrative, packaging it into formats (an about page, a media story, speaker narratives, a pitch story for media), distribution through PR/content. The work: research, narrative, packaging, distribution. Honestly about 'the story must be truthful', this is key and fundamental: a strong brand story is based on real facts, people and values; we do NOT invent a beautiful legend that contradicts reality — an invented or embellished story will sooner or later be exposed (employees, clients, journalists) and cause more reputational damage than it gave. We amplify the real, we do not invent. Honestly about 'a brand story ≠ sales': the narrative builds perception, emotional connection, trust, awareness and differentiation, but does not equal sales — they depend on the product, offer, funnel. 'We make a story and sales will come' = a lie. Honestly about 'a long-term effect': brand perception forms over months/years through a repeated consistent narrative; quick results should not be expected. Honestly about 'distribution does not guarantee reach': placing the story in media/channels depends on editorial teams/platforms and does not guarantee publications/reach (see PR 528). Honestly about 'the narrative must match the product/actions': a beautiful story diverging from real client experience causes rejection. Honestly about the effect: it develops and promotes a truthful brand story (research, narrative, packaging, distribution), strengthening perception/trust/awareness in the long run, but this is not a guarantee of sales/reach; the story is only truthful; distribution does not guarantee publications. Honestly about access: a real story/facts, access to founders are needed. An important boundary: this is a brand narrative (PR/content); PR support — 528; case story — 527; positioning/SEO content — 296. The base price starts from 28,000 ₽ for developing/promoting the story.

FAQ
Can a vivid story be invented even if embellished?
No, honestly: a strong brand story is based on real facts, people and values. An invented or embellished story will sooner or later be exposed (employees, clients, journalists) and cause more reputational damage than it gave. We amplify the real, we do not invent a legend contradicting reality.
Will a brand story boost sales?
Not directly, honestly: the narrative builds perception, trust, awareness and differentiation, but a brand story ≠ sales — they depend on the product, offer, funnel, and the perception effect is long-term. 'We make a story and sales will come' is a deception. We honestly strengthen brand perception, without promises of sales.
Do you guarantee publications of the story in media?
No, honestly: distributing the story through media/channels depends on editorial teams and platforms and does not guarantee publications/reach (like any PR — 528). We prepare a strong pitch story and distribute, increasing the chances, but without a guarantee of releases; paid placements we honestly label.
