network
Our international partners, whom we cooperate with on a regular basis, are from France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, the UK and USA. In addition, we maintain contacts to other agencies in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Poland and Russia. Möller Horcher PR deliberately decided to not join an international agency network because we choose our partners with great care and in accordance with our customers’ needs and requirements. Important selection criteria are of course the respective agency’s IT and high-tech sector competence as well as its B2B focus. Our aim in selecting a partner is always to achieve the best-possible service for our customers and to ensure – also on an international level – the performance standards the customer is used to and can expect. Given our client structure, large international agencies are seldom able to fulfil these demands. In addition, our partner agencies have to be similarly flexible with respect to the fee models they use.
If desired, we can act as a lead agency for our customer’s international activities or we can arrange a contact to our partner agency, which will then work independently for the mutual customer in that language area. We would be very happy to assist you in choosing a suitable international agency.
