What Mikhailov & Partners does

Mikhailov & Partners (Михайлов и Партнёры) is a privately held Russian communications group headquartered in Moscow, founded in 1993, operating as a joint-stock company (Aktsionernoe Obshchestvo "Mikhailov i Partnery. Upravlenie Strategicheskimi Kommunikatsiyami") under CEO Andrey Bykasov. The firm employs 250+ communications professionals and has delivered 15,000+ projects for 1,500+ Russian and multinational clients over 30+ years, including S7 Airlines, Jumeirah Group, Mosenergosbyt, Honor, AB InBev Efes (Velkopopovicky Kozel), and B2B-RTC.

Its core services span the full communications value chain: strategic communications, corporate and marketing communications, digital and social media, crisis management, financial communications and IR (delivered through the 'Alliance Territory' alliance with NW Advisors and Infomost Communications), ESG communications, GR, internal communications, creative services, analytics (MiP Analytics), business events (Business Dialog), entertainment events (ERA), and sports marketing (MiP Sport). In 2024 the firm launched Xprompt, an in-house AI content and creative services tool using neural networks, led by prompt engineer Lina Kochetova, and operates an educational offering, MiP Course (online video lectures at RUB 4,990 per lecture / RUB 25,000 per full 6-lecture course), plus proprietary media ESG GAZETA and the PRobka wine communications award.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales: long-term integrated mandates sold directly to top management of large Russian corporates and multinational clients (aviation, hospitality, energy, FMCG, tech, financial services), plus participation in tenders and industry referrals. In June 2026 the firm added a dedicated 'Strategic Support of First Persons' practice for C-suite executives. Revenue is generated primarily from professional services on custom commercial proposals (pricing not publicly disclosed); recurring/subscription revenue is contributed by MiP Course. The firm is currently ranked #1 in the National Communication Companies Rating (NR2K) for the sixth consecutive year (2020–2026) and Top-10 at Silver Mercury 2026.
