Although some also work with other agencies, they find the capabilities of ICOM fill an important niche in their marketing plans. Our local perspective, international standards and practices, quick response time and cost-efficiency match their needs.
Today, more than ever, we feel marketers should have an alternative to the big, publicly held, agency holding companies. ICOM offers a network of agency entrepreneurs that continue to put their client's interests first...not those of Wall Street. Members are carefully screened and they pay dues to belong. Each member is a shareholder of the network and the administrative structure is kept small and simple. For that reason the cooperation between agency members is high and politics non-existent.
You are invited to learn more about our unique network by exploring our web site. Look at what the international press has said about us at .In The News. Then you can see what we say about ourselves in our Network Newsletter. And, you can learn more about our members in each market at. Portfolios.
