ICOM, one of the world’s largest global networks of independent agencies providing advertising, marketing communications, media, digital and related services, has appointed new agency members in Spain and Germany to expand and enhance the network\u2019s presence in these two important European countries.<\/p>\n

In Germany, Cologne-based\u00a0BrandGalaxy Group<\/a>, organized as a galaxy of specialty agencies each headed by a managing director, provides a complete and fully integrated service offering. The agencies cover everything from online and other digital media to branding, multimedia, point-of-sale, media planning, sponsorship, events, public relations and editorial.<\/p>\n

In Spain, Madrid-based\u00a0Darwin Social Noise<\/a>, a creative and strategy-based agency, brings strong digital capabilities supported by the agency\u2019s proprietary digital intelligence tools. The agency is especially proficient in communication strategy, brand content and applicable creative concepts and has its own audio-visual production team.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor some time, we have been looking for the right partner in Spain and an additional partner to our long-time member,\u00a0move communications<\/a>, in Germany since the country is the second largest advertising market in Europe,\u201d said ICOM Chairman\u00a0Bob Morrison<\/a>, also chairman-CEO, Morrison, Atlanta, USA. \u201cThe principals of both our new members are passionate about the same things that ICOM members value: independence, collaboration, teamwork and a client-first mandate. Both agencies will fit right in.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new members are looking forward to the collegial spirit that ICOM members exhibit which facilitates collaboration and cooperation. \u201cThat makes for a highly focused team when working on regional and global accounts,\u201d said ICOM Executive Director\u00a0Emma Keenan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Miguel Pereira<\/a>, chief executive\/co-founding partner\/co-owner of Darwin Social Noise, said ICOM is a perfect fit for his agency\u2019s international growth model. \u201cMembership will allow us to offer our clients worldwide coverage through reliable partners. I also expect to get inspiration for business ideas and new experiences and to network with an incredible group of peers from every corner in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

ICOM Europe Regional Director\u00a0Christophe Levyfve<\/a>\u00a0added that Darwin Social Noise is an especially impressive agency. \u201cThey have a strong digital focus and forward-thinking outlook. They very much not only have their eye on the agency of tomorrow. They are, in fact, rapidly becoming the agency of tomorrow.\u201d Levyfve is also CEO-owner of NETCO Group in France and Belgium.<\/p>\n

Also impressive is where Darwin Social Noise is housed – in an inspirational building built in the 1800s for the first Spanish women\u2019s school. Designated an historic building, it was designed by a well-known architect. Its stunning courtyard is used by prestigious fashion and auction houses to showcase private collections and for photo shoots. Darwin Social Noise is the sole workplace in the building.<\/p>\n

It is there that the agency serves clients across a wide range of industries including finance and insurance, online betting, dental clinics, professional soccer, tv entertainment, utilities and nonprofits.<\/p>\n

Although BrandGalaxy Group\u2019s origins stem from a multinational agency conglomerate, the group has been independent for some 15 years, growing steadily, healthily and implementing a wide variety of successful projects with a digital-first focus. The agency is heavily involved with media-neutral brand activation digital, in-store, at sports and music events and at trade shows. The individual entities work most often as a collaborative team. \u201cOur greatest results are best achieved with a team of experts, each contributing their state-of-the-art expertise in their respective fields. The extraordinarily long relationships with our blue chip clients are the best proof of this,\u201d said\u00a0Leon Dominitz<\/a>, one of two BrandGalaxy Group managing partners. \u201cNow we are eager to tap into ICOM\u2019s resources to benefit from being part of a global organization and to support our new network partners with our technology focus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among BrandGalaxy\u2019s clients are well-known icons including Nikon, DHL, Kimberly-Clark, Mars, Porsche, Samsonite and Telekom. The group recently purchased and plans to invest heavily in an agency specializing in augmented and virtual reality as well as experiential marketing, which brings new services to ICOM\u2019s offer in Germany.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith our integrated approach, we not only create the best programs for our clients but also grow and learn ourselves with every project because the individual disciplines benefit from the strengths of the others,\u201d said\u00a0Heiner Prignitz<\/a>, the other managing partner of BrandGalaxy Group. \u201cJoining ICOM is more than just a new business decision. It\u2019s also a decision linked to staff enhancement and training.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3405,"template":"","news_category":[18],"class_list":["post-3404","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_category-press"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nICOM Network Expands Offerings in Important European Markets: Appoints New Members in Germany and Spain - ICOM<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/icomagencies.com\/news-press\/icom-network-expands-offerings-in-important-european-markets-appoints-new-members-in-germany-and-spain\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"ICOM Network Expands Offerings in Important European Markets: Appoints New Members in Germany and Spain - ICOM\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"ICOM, one of the world’s largest global networks of independent agencies providing advertising, marketing communications, media, digital and related services, has appointed new agency members in Spain and Germany to expand and enhance the network\u2019s presence in these two important European countries.
