NEWS FROM EEIG ICOM EUROPE

In February we launched the website for ICOM Europe at www.icomagencies.eu. The website was essential to gain credibility for our project and to support our candidacy when we respond to invitations to tender from the European Commission.

We would like to thank Uffe Just (Just/Kidde) and his team who devoted their time to make this project a success.

Our aim for the near future is to make the site even more powerfull. Therefore, we would like you to take a look at the it and send us your input. Please email comments and suggestions to Robert Goossens Robert.goossens@fast.be with a copy to Patrick Walhain p.walhain@dassas.com.

We are also looking forward to a tender from the European Commission for the required services (advertising campaign, with concept and media plan, etc.) to start a third pitch and win it.

In the next two weeks, with the help of “EUROTASC”, our consultant for the European Commission tenders, we will finalise our study about the winners of the tenders for the European Commission in the last five years.

This will allow us to find out who won these pitches and who is in charge of the communication in every GD. The study will also reveal if certain budgets or campaigns are recurring and often assigned to the same company. This is vital information if we want to win the competition and establish a global communication campaign for the European Commission in the near future.
