Overview

Quarki is a Berlin family business with Eastern European roots and a manufacturer of dairy products. The company was founded by Igor Volynets and is now run together with his son Andrej Volynec. Since 2004, Quarki has been selling traditional Russian dairy products and the eponymous quark bar in Germany. The aim was and is to make Russian cuisine popular in Germany and to make its subtleties accessible to a broad public.

Challenge

The aim of the PR strategy was to address end consumers on the one hand and decision-makers in retail on the other. For each product launch, it was therefore always important to find a good communications mix for B2C and B2B media.

Solution

To this end, we relied on a mix of press releases, editorial visits, journalist sampling, interviews and blogger activities.
