ECCO Goes East

Now it is officially declared, that Publicity PR Agency - one of the oldest private-owned agencies in Russia – has joined ECCO network and has become its exclusive member for the whole territory of the Russian Federation.

This east-bound extension of ECCO is estimated by industry's expert as very logical and sound. Russian PR services market showed substantial growth year by year and in the current year is expected to exceed 1 billion US dollars. "We were seeking for reliable partner in Russia for enough long period of time. The conditions of membership were easy. The most important one - perspective Russian agency was supposed to render services of the same quality, as ECCO agencies around the world.  After studying and auditing Publicity PR Agency we have come to conclusion that this agency is a par with the rest of ECCO network. Then there was a meeting in London, numerous discussions among ECCO members. After Agency's presentation in Madrid this October we announce officially Publicity PR Agency as our Russian members. Our expectations are high. It today's demanding economic environment the prospect for global cooperation in the field of communication is growing. More and more foreign and international companies started to think about Russia as about one of their priority markets. There are number of ECCO clients in different countries among them. Meanwhile many Russian companies are going internationally. It is not just Gazprom any more. Medium-size companies from Russia  are trying to foray in the international market and we are able to help them", - said Kathryn Bishop, ECCO Coordinator.

This year Publicity PR Agency is enjoying its 15th year of successful activity. By this reason we may believe that this step reflects new stage in our development. We are going to adapt unified standards of client relations, cost services calculator and other know-hows, which are available for us now as for ECCO members. This year our turnover had 30% growth. Despite the global economic crisis and other obstacles we expect this growth to continue. There is ECCO to help. In our turn I am sure our Moscow-based headquarters, as well as offices in St.-Petersburg and Ristov-upon-Don will be able to assist other ECCO members and their clients at its best.", - said Yan Khanov, Managing Partner of Publicity PR Agency.
