The company aims to simplify PR and media buying into a predictable, results-driven experience that works everywhere — for fast-growing startups and Fortune 500 companies alike
Company Success Story:
Observing an evolving client need for more than just press release distribution, Storozhuk, along with co-founder Alex Nigmatulin, transformed the service into a marketplace for sponsored content — leading to the creation of PRNEWS.IO. A significant milestone occurred in 2018 when the company was established in Estonia, leveraging the country’s e-Residency program to expand into European markets. The platform has also been recognized with industry awards: a winner in the Marketing and PR category at the Go Global Awards 2022, and a High Performer in G2’s Summer 2023 report.
Leadership Team:
Founder Alexander Storozhuk’s journey in digital media began in 2004 while still a university student, where he developed a news distribution system. Co-founder Alex Nigmatulin, the Chief Marketing Officer, brought over 15 years of experience in marketing and digital communications, which was instrumental in the platform’s international expansion.
