Zakazukha Marketing Blog

About

Zakazukha is a Russian term meaning payment for favourable editorial comment. In 2001 a Russian public relations agency exposed the practice by offering a number of Moscow newspapers cash in exchange for editorial coverage of a store opening. Sixteen publications entered into negotiations, with 13 running the story. The agency later revealed that no store actually existed.

Zakazukha is an integrated marketing communications consultancy established by Bruce Nelson.
