CASES
THEATRICAL RELEASE: "VIOLENT NIGHT”
Online PR
Bloody instead of peaceful - that was the motto of the Universal Pictures christmas movie "Violent Night", for which we were entrusted with the online PR campaign. Exciting interviews with leading actor David Harbour or director Tommy Wirkola combined with competitions and reviews, which already assume great cult potential for the film, were crowned with numerous enthusiastic cinema visitors. A violently beautiful present.
THEATRICAL RELEASE: "THE RETALIATORS"
PR campaign
With "The Retaliators", the newly formed studio Better Noise Films has brought its first horror movie to the cinema. World-famous rock stars like Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe), Jacoby Shaddix (Papa Roach), the guys from Five Finger Death Punch lend a hand and deliver the guitar-heavy soundtrack at the same time. It was loud, it was bloody - and we had a lot of fun with it.
RAKUTEN TV - STREAMING
Basic PR
In the summer of 2022, we took over the German basic PR support for the streaming service Rakuten TV. In addition to PR for popular classics, we were also able to establish Rakuten originals, such as the documentary "My Decision by Andrés Iniesta", in cooperation with a pan-European team. We thus got the great opportunity to provide SportBild with a widely respected interview with Spanish football legend Andrés Iniesta shortly before the start of the World Cup.
B3 BIENNIAL OF THE MOVING IMAGE
PR campaign & social media
For the 10th anniversary of the B3, we were commissioned by the Offenbach University of Art and Design to handle the PR and social media campaign of the renowned moving image festival. In cooperation with an international team, we led the project to great success in 9 months of passionate work.
GERMAN COMIC CON
PR campaign
Join the hype train!
Just in time for the finale of season 4 of "Stranger Things", the German Comic Con was able to bring series star Millie Bobbie Brown to Dortmund. To ensure that no fan missed out on this unique opportunity, we launched a nationwide PR campaign within a very short time. We were able to achieve a considerable reach across all channels and get people excited about the event far beyond the actual target group.
THEATRICAL RELEASE: "COUP"
Social Media
The true story of a banker & fraudster.
After all the terrible months of closed cinemas, we had the great pleasure and honor to accompany the cinema release of "COUP" social media side. We served all major platforms like Instagram, Facebook and TikTok during the multi-week campaign. We created the content and exciting angles to encourage people to visit the cinema. As a result, we achieved significant reach into very different age cohorts right off the bat. A wonderful project - we just love cinema!
THE HANDMAID'S TALE
PR-Campaign
Reality and dystopia so close together.
We supported in cooperation with the German TV station TELE 5 the free TV premiere of the second season, „The Handmaid’s Tale“, with an arousing PR campaign. With the specific use of suitable influencers and media partners, we above all pointed out the terrifying parallels between the series and real events and thus caused attention.
LAG FREIWILLIGEN DIENSTE HESSEN
Influencer campaign
#FSJbringtwas
Watch the video here: http://bit.ly/LAG_Friendshipmedia
With our influencer campaign with hashtag #FSJbringtwas, we were able to support the Hessen volunteering services to generate attention in the relevant target group and thereby significantly increase the number of applicants for the new year. In the voluntary social year, young people up to the age of 27 take on ancillary activities in the area of common good and often experience a regular working day for the first time. We had a lot of fun drawing attention to this great opportunity for young professionals and supporting social and cultural institutions simultaneously.

SERVICES
Social Media | Podcasting | PR | Marketing | Influencer | Workshops | Events
SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
We advise you on the development of social media strategies for different target groups on different platforms. We create appropriate concepts and implement them for you in the form of editorial plans.
As community manager, we interact with your followers and expand your reach. We build image, sound and video material and place it on your channels. We implement content-driven ad campaigns based on target group-specific targetings.
PODCAST PRODUCTION AND MARKETING
Nothing sticks as well as original audio content! That's why we rely on podcasts and develop a suitable format for you. We take over the production and place your content on all common platforms. In order to make your podcast known, we also develop exciting communication concepts. Would you rather use an established format for your message? Then we would be happy to advise you on podcast advertising and share our strong network of podcast partners.
PR AND MARKETING (ON- AND OFFLINE)
We shoulder the communication of your products throughout their entire life cycle. From the broad distribution of the first press release, creation of newsletters and the targeted addressing of hand-picked media to high-reach highlight events. In short: we accompany you through all segments of public relations. And don't worry, we are also prepared for crises and able to guide you - that's what friends are for.
INFLUENCER RELATIONS
Not every influencer is suitable as a brand ambassador for every product. We develop a strategy for you and evaluate suitable cooperation partners within and outside of our existing influencer network. The decisive factor is not just the numbers, but above all the authenticity.
WORKSHOPS
In tailor-made workshops, we give you high-quality insights into the mechanisms of current communication options. This includes social media, podcasting or classic PR. With our workshops you can find an introduction to the desired topic or deepen your existing knowledge. This helps you and your team to carry out your own smaller projects by yourself and to understand and evaluate the work of your service agencies as well.
EVENTMANAGEMENT
Events are finally possible again! We are ready and willing to advise you on the question of where participation makes sense for your product (e.g. festivals, trade fair presences, etc.) Or even better: we simply organise your own event for you (e.g. press events, premieres, etc.)! We develop the right concept including all activities, which we then implement on site.
[FRƐNDƩꞮP] [MIːDIƏ] PROMISES
A note from the founders
Friendship Media was born out of real friendship. Friendship is the foundation of our work. It is not a goal or a plan, friendship is a state of deep trust and solidarity, a promise to the future. It's the agency's DNA - it's our promise to you:
We know our way around - together we've been in the media industry for over 20 years. Communication is our great passion, we are close to the zeitgeist and can advise you operationally and strategically in every respect.
We are up-to-date - we don’t think of us as omniscient. We prefer to keep educating ourselves. Platforms regularly change their mechanics and use new algorithms. We are not impressed by that. We always keep ourselves up to date in complex self-education measures. Our quality for your products remains at the highest possible level.
We are networkers - we cooperate with a wide range of freelance journalists, editorial offices and service providers. So you can't imagine anything that we couldn't create. But -
We are realists - we don't hold onto empty promises and assess the possibilities for your product realistically - even if that sometimes means that we won't get the job.
We listen to you - there is no such thing as a “the usual way”. Together with you, we create a master plan that is precisely tailored to you and your needs.
We are pragmatists - we know that your time is precious and sometimes it has to be quick and easy. No long decision-making processes, no 7 cooks spoiling your broth. We act quickly and effectively.
We love what we do - we always see ourselves as part of the target group and are passionate about every project.
That's our promise to, that's Friendship Media.
