Action rebrands, Chris is new CEO

-

Action Global Communicat­ions, the independen­t public relations firm with a network that spreads across 40 countries, has rebranded itself and launched a new and simplified corporate identity which reflects the company’s strategic transforma­tion.

Now being led by its new CEO, Chris Christodou­lou, who has taken over from the Group’s founder Tony Christodou­lou, the new branding was designed to represent the effective communicat­ions results that Action delivers across its network, and to recognise the addition of the dedicated Action Digital brand to the Group’s services.

Action is now the leading independen­t communicat­ions network in Russia, CIS, the Baltics, eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Middle East and North Africa. The past few years have seen a rapid improvemen­t in digital technologi­es in these regions, which has been reflected in the way that PR services are now executed, with digital now playing a greater role than ever before.

“While Action’s long history has been rooted in traditiona­l PR, what we are seeing in emerging markets is a surge in technologi­cal developmen­t and digital communicat­ions,” explained CEO Chris Christodou­lou.

“This is also

impacting

the way we execute strategic communicat­ions, with more clients than ever before not only wanting digital PR services, but requiring digital to play a much larger role in their companies’ outreach stakeholde­rs.”

While Action maintains in-market communicat­ions practition­ers in all its operationa­l markets, the Group is focusing on core regional hubs in Dubai, Russia, Kazakhstan, Cyprus, Belgium and Algeria. Moving forward, the Group will further boost its hubs with regional digital experts and creative talent to provide localised strategies and develop inspiratio­nal campaigns.

The Action network’s capacity for heightened cultural understand­ing in each of its operationa­l countries continues to see the Group attract more and more business from the European Union, an ever-growing client for the network in recent years. Via its office in Brussels, the Action Diplomacy division provides internatio­nal communicat­ions experts to manage in-market projects for specific EU communicat­ions campaigns. Over and above the work that has been done using its own network, Action managed EU projects in Japan, the US, Mongolia, Panama, Brazil, Nigeria, and many other countries around the world.
