AGC Communications Partners with Mexican Firm

MONTREAL , Feb. 3 /CNW Telbec/ - AGC Communications, a reputation management and strategic communications consultants firm based in Montreal , announced today a strategic partnership with Gelattina, a digital agency specialized in web production and digital marketing, based in Monterrey , Mexico and Montreal .

For AGC, having a vast experience in public relations and brand management, the choice to partner with a Monterrey firm was a judicious one, as this city is one of the most important centres in Latin America. As an industrial and business oriented territory, Monterrey houses many of Mexico's most important firms and conglomerates, both national and international, and is a strategic point of commerce due to its closeness to both the United States and Latin America.

This alliance reinforces the relations between both agencies who already share a common mission: to build and put in place custom-made communication strategies for their clients trough a smart use of the web. This agreement solidifies both firms' strategy to efficiently manage the online communication of their clients in a global context.

AGC Communications and Gelattina will collaborate to create relevant and complementary solutions for their clients based on both countries. This approach will allow for a more global strategic coherence and will insure that their clients' specific local issues are taken care of.

Furthermore, clients of both organizations will benefit from a wider spectrum of expertise and know-how following the partnership. Thus, Gelattina will take advantage of AGC Communications' expertise in public relations while AGC will benefit from Gelattina's know-how managing on line communication as an interactive digital agency.

This marks the second partnership concluded by AGC in the past few months on the international stage as it had announced, in November 2009 , an alliance with Luxembourg based Distinct Communication, a firm specialized in corporate communications and change consultancy.

"With the global context evolving at a fast pace, AGC is very enthusiastic about broadening its horizons by integrating new markets. Gelattina's expertise in interactive communications will certainly be an added value for our clients", evoked AGC Communications CEO Ahmed Galipeau

"Gelattina is very excited with this partnership, which will allow us to craft great communication messages for the Canadian market jointly with AGC through the use of tools such as the web and social media", said Gelattina CEO Romeo Marquez .
