ROLLINSVILLE, Colorado, USA –\u00a0ICOM, the largest global network of independent advertising and marketing communications agencies, has appointed four new members to represent the network in their respective markets. All four, Alpha Baltic,\u00a0Riga, Latvia; Brainwave Communications, Nairobi, Kenya; Oxyma Group, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and Windowseat Inc., Denver, CO, USA, met their new partners from around the world at ICOM\u2019s annual World Management Conference in Dubai last month.<\/p>\n
Membership in ICOM provides agencies the same benefits of a multinational global agency network while at the same time allowing ICOM members to remain independent. Agencies have immediate access to shared international resources and databases. Principals are encouraged to develop ongoing relationships with other member agency owners like themselves in a non-competitive environment.<\/p>\n
All new members have a roster of clients that includes recognizable international brand names, such as Bayer, Hyundai, KLM, L\u2019Oreal, Mattel, Toyota, Unilever and Vodafone, as well as local accounts in a range of industries from airlines, automotive, cosmetics and finance to food, retail, telecoms and toys.<\/p>\n
Emma Keenan, who assumed the post of ICOM executive director, May 1, welcomed the new members. \u201cIt\u2019s important for ICOM to have agency representation in all markets allowing all our members to offer a broad range of traditional and non-traditional capabilities to their clients wherever they need marketing communication services,\u201d Ms. Keenan, who is based in Paris, said. \u201cWe chose these agencies to join ICOM because they share the values, goals and philosophy of our membership and are valuable additions to our network.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alpha Baltic, Brainwave and Oxyma Group strengthen the network\u2019s geographic coverage in important countries while Windowseat, a content provider for digital marketing activities, adds expanded capabilities to the network.<\/p>\n
