Public Relations Services on an International Scale

IC has helped transform PRGN from a network of no more than a dozen agencies into an organization with more than 50 agencies on all six continents. But the goal was not only to expand the network, but also to improve it. 2014/2015 the Managing Director of Industrie-Contact, Uwe Schmidt, was President of the Public Relations Global Network. 2019/2020 he was Regional Vice President of the network and responsible for the EMEA region. One of his most important ideas was to bring PRGN into contact with other networks and agencies. This led to the idea for collaborations, e.g. with The Network One, one of the world’s leading independent agency networks for advertising, communications, PR, media and digital agencies.

Moreover, Industrie-Contact was convinced that for certain markets it needs one-on-one relationships to certain specialized agencies. By thinking the same way, other agencies from around the world that need communications support in Germany, came in touch with us. Thereby, we have gained new partners in many countries such as the USA, the UK, France, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, China, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. All these relationships are conducted openly. Both sides can be clients or contractors, depending on requirements. We are also happy to bring partners together with other partners of ours when someone is needed.

Last but not least, companies and other organizations from other countries, as yet not having a professional PR agency partner on the ground in Germany, find us through Google search. Beyond Germany we can provide PR services also for Austria and the German-speaking part of Switzerland (about 60% of the country). This region is also called D-A-CH.
