05 May 2022

On May 4th 2022 United Partners was successfully certified for Bulgaria and the SEE region by the International Communication Consultancy Organization (ICCO).

ICCO is the PR agencies voice all over the world. Its membership network includes 41 industry organizations in 81 countries. The total number of representatives exceeds 3 000 PR agencies. Anita Mohl, Jürgen H. Gangoly and András Sztaniszláv executed the audit and certification process locally in Sofia.

This world-level appreciation is a natural continuation of our international development strategy. Our team has already successfully implemented the international business standards providing top notch client services. The ICCO certification will now award us with an official appreciation for the work done. In my consideration, this puts the Bulgarian communication industry on the global market.

Maria Gergova-Bengtsson, founder and CEO of United Partners.

We are impressed by the structure and work processes in United Partners. This is the first SEE agency to become part of our network. I can confidently say that the team’s services and professional expertise are at a world class level.
