01 · The discipline

What communications actually is - and when it earns its place.

Communications is the discipline of being understood correctly by people who are not paying full attention - journalists, regulators, employees, investors, neighbours and customers. It is slow, relational work, and it is the part of a brand that is hardest to buy back once damaged.

We build the year's story arc rather than reacting to whatever the calendar throws up: what you will announce, what you will comment on, where your leadership speaks, and what you will deliberately stay quiet about. Then we do the unglamorous work behind it - developing relationships with the specific journalists who cover your sector, preparing spokespeople properly, and writing statements that survive being quoted out of context.

For crisis work, the value is created before anything happens. Protocols, holding statements, spokesperson training and a decision tree agreed while everyone is calm are worth more than any agency's response speed on the day.

02 · In this market

What changes when communications is practised in Cyprus rather than copied from a playbook written somewhere else.

  1. 01

    The media pool is small and personal

    In Cyprus you are dealing with a limited number of outlets and journalists, most of whom you will work with for years. Spray-and-pray press releases burn relationships that cannot be replaced.

  2. 02

    News travels bilingually and unevenly

    A story can run in Greek-language media and never surface in English, or vice versa. Coverage planning has to account for both audiences, including the diaspora and international trade press.

  3. 03

    Silence is read as an answer

    In a connected market, no comment is itself a statement. Having pre-agreed positions on the difficult subjects means you are never choosing your words for the first time under pressure.

From the partners

“Journalists do not owe you coverage. They owe their readers a story. Our job is to make sure that when your news genuinely is one, it arrives with the right person, in the right form, with everything they need to publish it.”
Raphaela Stylianou · Founder
“Every crisis I have worked on was survivable. What made the difference was whether the first hour was rehearsed. Write the difficult statement while nothing is wrong - you will never write it well at midnight.”
George Petrides · Partner
03 · What you get

4 defined deliverables. Open a row to read the detail - skip what you don't need.

01
Press strategy

The story arc for the year - announcements, thought leadership and feature bets - mapped to the outlets that matter.

02
Media relations

Journalist relationships, pitch development, briefings and reactive statements in Cyprus and abroad.

03
Executive comms

Founder and C-suite voice: keynotes, LinkedIn presence, interview prep and internal announcements.

04
Crisis playbooks

Pre-agreed protocols, holding statements and decision trees so the first hour of a crisis is rehearsed, not improvised.

04 · How we work

Leaves you with
Press strategy, key messages, spokesperson prep, crisis playbook
06 · Questions

Answered the way we would answer them on a call.

01
Can you guarantee coverage?

No, and you should be cautious of anyone who does. What we control is the work: the story is properly built, correctly targeted and delivered to the journalists who cover your field - which is what gives it a fair hearing.

02
Do you work in Greek and English?

Yes. Statements, releases and briefing materials are prepared in both, and we brief Greek-language and English-language media directly.

03
We are not in a crisis. Is a playbook premature?

It is the only time it can be written properly. A playbook takes a matter of weeks when nothing is happening and is impossible to produce well once something is.
