As a member of the ICOM network, agencies have many of the benefits of a major multinational agency group – providing effective integrated communications resources to clients internationally -- while maintaining their independence and local ties. It’s the best of both worlds: Global capability; local control. Of equal importance, the network provides a forum for a free exchange of ideas, information and support for members:

New Business Presentations
Members are immediately available to give colleagues advice about their experiences in specific categories in other countries, non-proprietary competitive information and assistance or advice in putting together a presentation. In effect, it’s a free resource to help you put together your best presentation. You have 70-plus other successful agency experts, not competing with you.

Category Information
The ICOM network with more than 2,000 clients has experience in almost every category you can imagine. Information is shared freely among members.

New Services
Considering adding a new service? Ask your colleagues who offer the same service for advice. You will find that they are more than willing to help you with case histories, software and in any other way.

New Geography
When a client wants to enter another country, all you need to do is contact the ICOM agency in that country. You will get background information, connections to set up contacts and whatever else you need. If it’s setting up an event, transcreation or media assistance, you have someone on the ground. Those are just a few of the many valuable services a local partner can offer you.

Creative Samples from Other Countries or Markets
Your membership in ICOM gives you immediate access to copies of TV commercials and print ads, catalogs and direct mail and other materials from markets across the globe.

Staying Up-to-Date
We’ve saved what some members say is the best for last: networking at our annual meetings. One-on-one connection with agency principals around the world that face some of the same issues that you do. We talk freely, and we share information without fear of competition. And it doesn’t end at the meetings. Members can download presentations from these annual and regional meetings from the Members Only side of this website. Our newsletter, The Globe, is filled with agency updates including new business and meeting reports.
