In September 2021, San Francisco Agency was tasked with running an international PR campaign concerning the breakthrough innovation of VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland of successfully producing coffee cells in a bioreactor through cellular agriculture. VTT’s goal was to increase awareness of the organization’s research and development expertise in the international market.
What we did
San Francisco’s team sparred VTT’s experts and communications team in sharpening the news angle of the story for international media, targeting the world’s leading mass media outlets and trade media. After putting together media lists, San Francisco pitched the story to a handful of selected journalists and distributed the press release.
