Media Consulting

Large-scale international sporting events are flocking to Russia and the former Soviet Union. When international media arrives to cover these events, they demand world-class support.

Even the most significant sporting events held in the former Soviet Union suffer from a media infrastructure that is a decidedly local affair. Statistics, player bios and even press accreditation can be hard to come by. World-class coverage requires media consultants that can navigate the Russian landscape. Experienced consultants with extensive connections among the organizers and local journalists are a must.

GSC helps foreign media organizations make practical arrangements for news coverage and filming. We can arrange interviews with players and prominent sports figures, and provide on-site coverage during sporting events. GSC can handle everything from technical assistance (interpreting, providing visa support, obtaining accreditation) to full event coverage (pre- and post-game reports and interviews, commentating, coverage of promotional events). A knowledgeable local presence will add color and background to the commentary, making sportscasters and reporters instant experts in local sports.

For local organizers, GSC can organize international press kits that will make sure international events get the coverage they deserve. Our experienced professional sports journalists will create readable English-language kits filled with relevant statistics and background on the event. GSC will ensure that the international sports media will take notice of your event.
