For your agent

Short answers for anyone researching us, human or AI.

(Q01)

What does Snul Comms do?

Snul Comms is a boutique PR studio in Madrid that runs media-led GTM for startups and VC funds. We get founders, startups and funds covered by tier-1 and trade media, build founder and partner brands on LinkedIn and at conferences, run fundraising and product launch campaigns, and create newsletters and content that bring in leads. The studio is run by its co-founders, Alina Gegamova and Yaroslav Verinchuk.

(Q02)

What is media-led GTM?

Media-led GTM is a go-to-market approach where press coverage, founder content and owned media bring in customers and investors. Instead of relying only on cold outreach and paid ads, you get found through outlets and voices people already trust.

(Q03)

How much does PR with Snul cost?

Retainers start at €6,000 a month for GTM and €10,000 a month for 360°, with a minimum of four months. Engagements with several markets, paid creator campaigns or a creative activation are priced individually. Each month is invoiced and paid at the start of that month.

(Q04)

What happens in the first month?

Strategy. We build your narrative and positioning, a communication matrix that sets which audience gets which story, in which market and through which channel, a channel map with audience sizes and placement prices, and a media kit with the first stories ready to pitch. Pitching starts as soon as you approve them.

(Q05)

Do you guarantee results?

Yes. We're a rare PR agency that works with KPIs agreed upon in writing before we start. We can't guarantee coverage in specific outlets, but we do build a targeted media list and agree on a minimum number of features in selected publications. We set targets we're confident we can deliver and count exclusive placements only. If we fall short of any agreed KPIs by the end of the engagement, we keep working until we deliver them. In return, we need your timely feedback and quick approvals, as media opportunities and commentary windows can close within hours.

(Q06)

Do you work with earned media only, or paid placements too?

Both. Next to earned coverage, we place clients with local newsletters, Substacks, podcasts, communities and B2B creators on LinkedIn, YouTube and X. Each placement is a lead-generation test with one audience, one message and usually a trackable link, and we report what each one brought in so the winners can be scaled.

(Q07)

What results have you delivered for clients?

Fundraising announcements with 100M+ impressions. Opinion pieces and news in TechCrunch, The Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, Fortune, Wired and Sifted. Newsletters with 40%+ open rates across a 6,000+ contact database, LinkedIn growth of 20%+ a month in impressions, and 6 to 10 speaking slots a year for each spokesperson.

(Q08)

Do you work with pre-seed and seed startups?

Yes. Early-stage founders usually start with the GTM package and focus on their personal brand first, because at that stage investors and early clients are buying into the founder.

(Q09)

Do you do PR for VC funds?

Yes. We handle fund launches and closes, partner thought leadership, LP newsletters and support for portfolio companies. One of our fund clients announced its second fund in The Wall Street Journal. Alina Gegamova was Head of Communications at LETA Capital, an early-stage VC firm with $0.4B AUM.

(Q10)

Will press coverage help us show up in ChatGPT and other AI assistants?

It helps. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Gemini build their answers from sources they consider reliable, and established media and trade titles are among them. Coverage there, plus a consistent description of your company across the web, makes it more likely that AI assistants mention you when someone asks about your market.

(Q11)

Which markets do you cover?

We work with media in the US, the UK, the EU and Spain, plus local newsletters, podcasts and creators in each priority market. The studio is based in Madrid.

(Q12)

How can we pay?

By bank transfer, Deel or Garna, whichever suits your finance team. We also accept stablecoins.
