Media Relations
There is no such thing as an information vacuum. When there is a lack of hard information, hearsay fills the gap. The ability to promptly communicate key messages to target audiences can improve perceptions of products and services, but only assuming the basic ethical principles of media relations are respected. It is only these principles which can provide a long term professional relationship with media representatives based on the quality of information. Building media relations is surely no secret veiled in magic.
Well managed media relations have a major positive impact on company reputation and should not be neglected under any circumstances. Strategy and tactics in media relations are always reflected in CSG signed PR activities. Our media relations specialists have extensive experience in this field
Apart from company press spokespersons, it is also members of the board or other managers or employees who act as a company’s spokesperson. Formulating and communicating key messages is a matter of drill, not talent, and it can be learnt. All communications programs are based on knowledge of media relations and public appearance principles. CSG provides such training and maintains an extensive list of prominent alumni of our training sessions.

Brand Building
Brand and Reputation Consulting
Brands cast a magic spell on customers. The brand is one of the main attributes when a customer is deciding whether to buy a product or not. A well established brand does not require discounts or “special offers”. A strong brand is perceived by a customer as undiscounted quality. Brand building is a long term process which should lead to changes in customers’ perceptions and expectations, and, in the end, to a desired change in customer behavior. Brands apply to fast moving goods, as well as business to business products and services alike.
In providing services we build on our experience with the local media market and the bulk of information and research data gathered by partner agency, MMRD, the company regularly conducts research on customer behavior (e.g. the media consumption habit, target group behavior etc.) and on the effect public perceptions of chief executive officers have on company reputations. We provide our clients with creative solutions that help effectively communicate key messages to key audiences, while positively affecting clients’ business results.

PR Tools and Support
Production companies usually propose clients ways of delivering what is demanded from them. CSG, however, provides services at an earlier stage of planning and helps clients search for the most effective ways to communicate key messages. Such an approach brings lower costs and effective results with media result.
CSG's services provided in this area cover event management, internet surveys, brochures, leaflets, newsletters and invitation design. In all our activities we seek to produce materials and events which the participants will not forget after the “curtain comes down”. CSG provides clients with top class services especially innovative production services. In 2006 for example, CSG prepared and managed the first ever TV campaign broadcasting 4 clean messages.
CSG puts emphasis on the most important element of production management, which is building an interactive relationship between a client and its key audience. In our understanding, public relations is built on a dialogue with target audiences and the communications tools applied should respect this.
