Based on the experience of building the online agency Story TLRS, we are now creating a group of communication companies and other projects. With enthusiasm, emphasis on common values and mutual exchange of know-how.
History

After university, Piero Sestak, Kuba Novák and Šimon Vodrážka embark on a journey into online marketing and social networks. They set up an agency that everyone in the field knows today.
Story TLRS gets hold of a former embassy villa in Vinohrady. They set up their offices there and, at the same time, a coworking space, which they later sell to the Impact Hub network.
The amount of content that Story TLRS creates for clients is so large that they set up their own video production arm. Back then under the name More Than Video (Více než video), which then changes to VNV Productions a year later.
With two successful agencies in the portfolio, an idea emerges to combine several companies that could cover the entire communication mix.
The Near & Dear Group is gaining ground - adding more agencies and projects that share the same values and wish to build top-level brands.
The establishment of the Semibold studio, which focuses on branding and web design, contributes to the greater specialization of individual teams.
Kuba Novák passes on the position of creative director at Story TLRS and embarks on an adventure in gastronomy.
Work, projects, and plans are growing. We continue to specialize and divide the group into Communications and Ventures.
By mutual agreement with Tom and Pavel, we sell back our stake in Triple Bang Agency.
Unfortunately, the gastro project doesn't work out, and at the end of the year we close Random Bistro. Kuba returns to the position of Creative Director at our design studio Semibold.
We renovate two floors in the upper part of the building and move to a new address so that we can all be under one roof.
We have our own studio – besides filming and photography, the space allows for streaming and podcast recording, and includes post-production. We use the studio for our clients, but it is also available to the public.
We launch the development studio Make it Run. Ventures continues to focus on industry-specific projects within the incubator, M&A, and business consulting.
During 2024, we carried out our investment plan in two promising companies – Topic PR and Make it Run – and exited from them. We do, however, continue to work on joint projects.
We focused our full attention on our core services delivered through Story TLRS and Semibold: big ideas, social media, trend-driven production, influencer marketing, branding, design, and websites.
