In 2002, CFC’s first Big Idea was to get Ukraine involved in the Eurovision Song Contest. After presenting the idea to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, CFC was engaged to negotiate between the National TV Company and the European Broadcasting Union on Ukraine’s membership, which was approved in late 2002.
In 2004, CFC organized a Europe-wide PR campaign for Ruslana, who brought about Ukraine’s first victory at the Eurovision Song Contest. In 2005, CFC became the official PR Partner of the Eurovision Song Contest in Kyiv.
Over 2007–2011, CFC organized PR support for a number of Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian artists at ESC, including Ani Lorak (2008), Alyosha (2010), and Mika Newton (2011) who represented Ukraine at the Eurovision Song Contest in Belgrade, Oslo and Dusseldorf, as well as Sofo (Georgia, 2007), who performed in Helsinki.
Following Jamala’s victory in 2016, CFC was also able to contribute to the second Eurovision in Kyiv. In 2017, our company once again became the official PR Partner of the ESC. The PR campaign and activities were reinforced by a number of ancillary projects aimed at drawing more international attention to Ukraine and its culture.
We enjoyed the fruitful cooperation with CFC Big Ideas as the organizers of the Global Inclusion Online Forum. We hope to contribute to the further promotion of diversity and inclusion practices in the corporate world!
During the period of cooperation, the CFC Big Ideas team has demonstrated their high professionalism, operational efficiency, as well as desire to provide individual approach in solution of arising matters. CFC Big Ideas has proved themselves as a reliable, resourceful and diligent partner with excellent organizational and time management skills.
CFC’s expertise in government relations and stakeholder management is particularly important during the productive collaboration with Uber in key regulatory discussions with the government and legislature.
Since 2020, CFC Big Ideas has been a vital partner to Ukrainian SOE Weekly, significantly boosting our visibility, improving communication with our audience, and solidifying our position as the leading resource on state-owned enterprises, corporate governance, and privatisation in Ukraine.
We needed a professional communications company to help us set strategy and direction around our messaging amid the COVID-19 outbreak. The CFC team has helped us implement a number of communications activities aimed at helping doctors and patients stay safe and healthy. We have found the CFC team to be extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.
We were very pleased with the IT tour organized by CFC Big Ideas in November 2021. Our business meetings were successful as everything was thoughtfully planned and arranged, and the company’s team was very professional. I will highly recommend CFC Big Ideas because this tour exceeded all the expectations.
