Why is this work relevant for PR?
We used the Champions League Final as a reason to build awareness and good reputation for the gastro-bar “Rebra & Kotlety” . Using a non-standard idea, we achieved a unique PR effect. “Rebra & Kotlety” became the headliner of national TV and online media. We received over 40 million impressions & over 100 free media publications. Local bar became the famous all over the country.
Background
When Champions League Final came to Kyiv, we’ve lost our best feature - hospitality. There were only money and profit in minds.
Owners of the apartments canceled reservations to resell it more expensive later. B&B prices increased in 50-60 times. The biggest European media wrote about Ukrainian’s greediness. The Liverpool FC officials appealed to UEFA to ask help in dealing with crazy prices for housing in Kyiv. It was a national shame!
Describe the creative idea
To earn back our reputation of hospitable nation, gastro-bar “Rebra & Kotlety” decided to lose money.
We transformed gastro-bar into a free hostel for European fans and listed it on Airbnb. Day later fans have booked all beds in our Hostel-Bar. On May 26, they arrived in Kyiv.
