History
The ECCO Network was founded by three independent communication agencies in 1989. Its aim was to establish an independent communication network in the ever-growing European market. At the beginning, its headquarters were in Brussels, the network being supported by agencies from other European states. Originally, the network was planned for European agencies, but it became globally oriented over time.
In 2000, the company “ECCO International Public Relations Ltd.“ was founded in London. Under its roof, the work performed for international customers was coordinated and new business opportunities were developed for the members. The company’s shares are held by member-agencies from Great Britain, France, Germany, Poland, and India. Norbert Ofmanski, Christian Kollmann, Anja Feuerabend and Lutz Cleffmann manage the operative business in their function as the network’s board.
Since its foundation, the agencies active in the ECCO Network have built up a strong global network of contacts, knowledge and experience. In 2008, ECCO Network expanded through its partnership with Worldwide Partners, the world’s largest international network for advertising agencies and promotion.
In the past five years, ECCO Network generated an increase in turnover of 130 per cent.
