What Comunica does

Comunica is a Moscow-based, privately-held B2B PR and communications agency operating as OOO «Kom'yuniti» (Community LLC). The firm provides strategic consulting, press office and media relations, anti-crisis communications, social media management (SMM), analytics and monitoring, influencer and opinion leader mapping, digital/web services, design and branding, events, and corporate training. Its client base consists of large Russian and international enterprise brands across retail (Leroy Merlin, Fix Price), telecommunications (Tele2, MTT), automotive (Geely, Nissan), oil & gas and chemicals (SIBUR), food service and media (McDonald's Russia, Food.ru / X5 Media), fashion and apparel (Ecoalf, Demix, Orbico, Cordillero, Northland), and technology (Oracle, Tecno, Philips, Acer, Philip Morris International). The agency also delivered a blogger program for the FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia, evidencing project-scale event capability.

The agency's underlying technology consists of proprietary analytical methodologies rather than a software platform. The flagship is the Influence Map (Карта ЛОМ) framework, which screens 1,000+ potential influencers, evaluates approximately 300 in detail, and delivers a final map of roughly 80 opinion leaders each scored across multiple quantitative and qualitative criteria. The Crisis Readiness Index is an audit methodology that scores corporate crisis preparedness on a 0–10 scale. Supporting products include Content Mapping (audience media-consumption research), daily media and social-media analytical digests, anti-crisis monitoring, and risk mapping. Delivery is augmented by a dedicated design group producing branding, illustration, merchandise, animated Telegram stickers, and a recurring presentation design subscription service. The agency is not disclosed to use any AI/ML, third-party model APIs, or proprietary training pipelines; all analytical assets are described as human-driven frameworks.

Comunica's revenue model blends recurring retainers with project-based professional services. Subscription-style PR retainer work covers ongoing press office management, media relations, content creation, and communication strategy under long-tail relationships; project-based engagements cover crisis communications, brand identity creation, influencer mapping, events, and one-off campaigns. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct outreach, RFP response, and referral, supported by a public case-study portfolio on comunica.ru and a training/workshop funnel that builds industry reputation. The agency operates from a single Moscow headquarters with stated geographic reach across Russia and the broader CIS, and is founder-managed with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or M&A history.
