Gnora

What Gnora does

Gnora (legal name ΓΝΩΡΑ Σύμβουλοι Επικοινωνίας Δημοσιότητας Λτδ) is a privately held Cypriot communication consultancy founded in 2003 by former TV journalist Andreas Hadjikyriacos and headquartered in Strovolos, Nicosia. It operates three service lines - Communication Services, Business Intelligence Services, and Publications Services - delivered through a sales-led, consultative B2B go-to-market that targets enterprise clients across the private and public sectors in Cyprus and Greece. The company serves more than 40 organizations with an average client retention of roughly 8 years, supported by a multi-stakeholder ownership structure adopted in 2018 that grants staff equity stakes.

Underlying the core consulting practice is a small set of productized research assets, most notably mediaGNOSIS (a quarterly readership, viewership, and listenership report built on third-party data from RAI Consultants, AGB Nielsen Media Research, Conread, Symmetron, and the Cyprus Organisation of Internet Publishers), the Industry Report (sector-level social media analytics), the Social Media Compass (political party and leader benchmarking across Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Flickr), and the Confidential subscription newsletter. Online Reputation Management is delivered through specialized content management platforms combined with AI-powered data analytics, though the AI layer is described only at a feature level without disclosed model or pipeline detail. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with revenue primarily generated through professional services engagements augmented by subscription-based intelligence products. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity, operating as an independent, founder-led consultancy with light ongoing hiring (e.g., 2025 postings for a Communication Consultant and an English Editor).
