Dear Groundbreaker,


Thank you for the opportunity to discuss the #BreakingGrounds 2024 initiative with us. We appreciate you investing time to explore this.

We are pleased to share the following proposal for your consideration. But first, let us share a bit about ourselves and #BreakingGrounds.

*To get straight to our proposal, use the page navigation on the left side (☰).

Who we are


☑️ The Recursive is a community-born independent media for innovation journalism.

☑️ Through our Storytelling Studio, we empower pioneering founders in the CEE region, translating their ideas into resonating narratives via masterful storytelling, public relations, and content marketing.

☑️ Our purpose is clear: We amplify the voices of those sculpting the future economy of the region, propelling them into the international spotlight they rightfully deserve.

What we do for our customers


We spent years strategizing, creating, and executing effective campaigns. We've built on experience from our successes, but also from our failures.

Unlike others, we can make sense of both tech and business-related topics. We understand the needs, strengths, and challenges of innovative businesses and founders from CEE. But most importantly, we believe only an authentic brand and storytelling strategy could make your marketing efforts effective – and save you a lot of money along the way.

Our team of seasoned content creators, public relations experts and marketers can help you create compelling storytelling campaigns but also pick the right channels to share them with the world.

Because it is, as they say:

"The stories we tell literally make the world.
If you want to change the world,
you need to change your story."

― Michael Margolis

What our customers say about us




"The Recursive and Storytelling Studio are vital parts of the Bulgarian tech ecosystem. The Endeavor Bulgaria and the Recursive teams have consistently worked together on different projects. Their professionalism and friendly manner make them a pleasure to work with and I wholeheartedly endorse The Recursive and their work. I am confident that they will continue playing a key role in shaping the future of the Bulgarian tech ecosystem."
- Momchil Vassilev, Managing Director Endeavor Bulgaria


Our Approach for Developing Authentic Brands


We dare to engage you in an approach which is radically different from classic consulting. It is needless to tell you that times have changed. Today’s empowered customers first ask for a recommendations in their network. Then they check at least five information sources online. Before even getting in touch with a representative of your business.

In the digital age, brands are increasingly more customer-centric, authentic and multidimensional. Thus, laser sharp positioning becomes the utmost important aspect of a business.

Branding and positioning are what will help differentiate from you competitors. And pull the right clients and the right opportunities come in your way - explore your service.

Clear and consistent communication across various marketing materials and interactions (for example, your website, sales meetings and marketing collateral) is fundamental to helping buyers make the connection between your offering and the value it can bring to their business.

Although the need for effective communication is widely accepted as a universal truth, the ability to do that can be challenging. Increasing pressure to rapidly produce new content to support different use cases, capture attention, have it available in multiple channels and appeal to diverse constituents can result in ambiguity, unsubstantiated bold claims, and conflicting or confusing messages.

Many companies default to poorly copying what works for someone else. Or limited by fear, they are trying to fit-in and fail at differentiating from their competitors. And others are focusing so hard on new sales, that they've forgotten about their brand at all...

Still, it is an authentic brand, sharp positioning and differentiating messaging that lie between business and:

  • Entering strategically and sustainably in their target markets.
  • Pulling the the right customers in, filtering from those they not eager to work with.
  • Identifying what’s unique about them, their company and service throughout their whole organization

But branding, positioning and messaging means venturing into in human's psychology, emotions ... and the unknown. And without methodology, such efforts often remain in vain and insights gained - not acted upon.

#BreakingGrounds 24': Building Momentum

Background:

#BreakingGrounds initiative, led by Storytelling Studio by The Recursive, is a pioneering project that aims to showcase the strength and potential of Bulgaria's tech ecosystem by leveraging strategic exposure opportunities and communication e.g. public relations, optimized digital presence, social media activation, roadshow events and participation in leading international tech conferences.

Objective:

With this modern narrative about Bulgaria as an innovation-based economy, we aim to attract relevant stakeholders such as venture capitalists, corporate decision-makers, knowledge professionals and last but not least, our diaspora communities in the US, UK, and Western Europe. Furthermore, we believe establishing Bulgaria as a leader in the integration processes within CEE can open new and better opportunities for emerging ecosystems in this region.

Stepping on Bulgaria's recognized excellence in engineering and research combined with loyal talent, we aim to position Bulgaria as a regional hub for deep tech innovation and boost its global competitive standing. Taking into account the importance of consistent storytelling, we've outlined a strategic five-phased messaging development plan to sustainably amplify our narrative.

2023: Bulgaria: The Resilient Tech Underdog Beating the Odds
2024: Building Momentum (Showcase Progress, Strengthen Reputation)
⇒ 2025: Turning Tides (Establish Credibility, Expand Networks)
⇒ 2026: Leading the Charge (Assert Leadership, Attract Global Talent & Investment)
⇒ 2027: Bulgaria: A Deep Tech Hub (Cement Global Position, Inspire the Next Generation)

#BreakingGrounds so far…

In just four months, #BreakingGrounds has notably gathered together diverse ecosystem stakeholders for the first time in a cohesive communication drive, including entrepreneurs, tech providers, VCs, organizations like BVCA, Endeavor, BESCO, FMFIB, the Bulgarian Ministry for Innovation and Growth, BSMEPA and Invest Sofia. We assembled a delegation of ecosystem leaders and decision-makers, created a comprehensive visual identity, launched a social media campaign, organized side events, and secured speaking opportunities at Web Summit, Slush, and DLD Conference.

Our initiative led to a remarkable total of 597 meetings, with an average of 9.45 meetings per delegate at Web Summit, 8.35 at Slush, and 10.72 at DLD.With 34% women participation, we showcased Bulgaria's diverse talent pool across various industries, notably IT Services, Software & SaaS, and FinTech.

The financial prudence of #BreakingGrounds achieves a substantial ROI from an expenditure of 350K EUR on related activities to securing deals valued at approx. 3.7M EUR.

#BreakingGrounds @ Slush 2023:
A Case Study

Slush stands as a beacon for startups and investors globally, particularly accentuating the Nordic tech scene. It's a vibrant melting pot where thousands flock annually, engaging not just in a rich agenda of talks but in the invaluable spontaneous interactions Slush is known for. At this crossroads of innovation, the barriers between aspiring startups and tech giants are remarkably thin, laying the groundwork for partnerships with a potentially transformative impact.

The Bulgarian stand that we built at Slush was a buzzing hive, a magnet for entrepreneurs and government dignitaries alike. The number of delegates exceeded 20 people.

Bulgarian Minister of Innovation Milena Stoycheva took part in Slush's Unicorn Night 2023 with a message electrifying in its strength, yet in its simplicity and ambition: an era of entrepreneurship and partnerships. This moment encapsulates once again the collaborative heartbeat of the #BreakingGrounds campaign. This was the start of the last year's Slush.

This photo captures the vibrant energy and collective ambition of the #BreakingGrounds delegation, poised to foster connections and showcase Bulgaria’s tech excellence.

Lubomila Jordanova (Founder & CEO of Plan A), a maverick at heart and one of the most successful Bulgarian entrepreneurs nowadays, delivered a masterclass at the builder stage on the nuanced art of pricing. Her approach, in line with #BreakingGrounds ethos, disrupts the status quo, presenting a sustainable course for growth that others may follow.

Slush culminated in a grand finale with the #BreakingGrounds Tech Gala, an epitome of the event's spirit. The official side event on Slush was a collective effort showcasing the vibrant ecosystems of Bulgaria, Cyprus, Hungary, and Poland. Foreign investors showed keen interest, reflecting the innovation potential that the region of Central and Eastern Europe is known for.

The Recursive played a pivotal role in amplifying the event's reach, making it an essential networking hub. Peter Vesterbacka's attendance was the highlight; known for his significant role in developing Rovio Entertainment and the global phenomenon Angry Birds, he was named one of TIME's most influential people in 2011 and is the founder of Slush. His February visit to Bulgaria with a Finnish delegation, facilitated by his excellent professional relations with Minister Stoycheva, boosted the event's impact.

The Bulgarian contingent made a stellar impact at Slush with an intensive schedule—189 meetings, averaging 8.35 per delegate. Over 72% rated the experience as excellent, while 27.3% found it very good. The emphasis on networking seemed to point at the planting of seeds for future growth, while investor engagements hinted at forging long-term fiscal partnerships. Direct business opportunities also emerged, validating the delegation's focus on networking as the primary goal, followed by business development tactics.

The Bulgarian delegation didn't just make waves in the entrepreneurial world at Slush, but also left a memorable mark on the karaoke stage, ensuring our tech ecosystem was the center of the talk in Helsinki.

#BreakingGrounds indeed—onstage and offstage.
