We were very satisfied with the implementation of our first Premium Story. The process with Russmedia was straightforward and productive. After our briefing, the story creation was well-organized and professionally executed. Our internal effort was much lower than expected. With strong reach and reader engagement, we consider the Premium Story a success and plan to use this format more often in the future.”
