From regional to
international
brand visibility.

Europe is home to world-class innovation, but the barrier to the global stage is often the retainer risk. At S&B, we are removing that barrier.

Who we are

Award-winning marketing & PR.
CEE-rooted. London-based.

S&B is an award-winning marketing and PR consultancy based in London, making brands look big & grow bigger. Established in 2016, we help ambitious B2B, B2C, and not-for-profit clients to build their brands and influence globally through our international pay-per-result PR services.

We are uniquely positioned as the only London-based PR consultancy led by a Slovak CEO. We speak your language, literally and strategically. We build your international authority through high-impact commentary, interviews, thought leadership, podcast and keynote speaking, all delivered on a pay-per-result basis. You only pay when your brand appears in the titles that matter to you.

Our pay-per-result offering isn't just a pricing preference — it is a strategic risk-mitigation tool. For a business expanding beyond its home region, this validates that its story has market fit in new regions before it spends significant capital.

Our zero risk growth proposition

Six reasons European market leaders choose S&B.

Cultural alignment

We speak your language and understand the regional business context. There is no "lost in translation" when sharing your unique selling points.

Zero upfront cost

We don't bill for activity, meetings, or intent. We bill for impact — you only pay for the media coverage and speaking opportunities we secure.

Investor readiness

We position your company as an international leader to attract higher multiples from investors and acquirers.

Cross-border cohesion

We are a single point of contact and a unified voice that translates your value proposition and respects the nuances of international markets.

Scalable spending

You can turn the "PR tap" on or off based on your current business goals. There is no minimum spend or volume required. You control the investment.

Local insight, global influence

Led by a Slovak CEO, we offer the trust of a local partner with the reach and credibility of an established London consultancy.

An honest note

This isn't for every brand.
And that's intentional.

We work with a small number of CEE companies at any one time, and we're selective about who we take on. Not because we're precious about it — but because pay-per-result PR only works when there's a genuine story to tell.

Before we agree to work together, we evaluate your brand's international press potential honestly. That means looking at the strength of your founder's voice, the commercial angle of your story, and whether the publications that matter to your investors are likely to run it.

If we don't think we can get you meaningful coverage, we'll tell you. If we think there's a strong fit, we'll move quickly.

The only way to find out is to have a conversation.

Is there a fit?
Let's find out.

We evaluate every CEE brand individually before we commit. Tell us about your company, your ambitions, and the audience you want to reach.
