Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

after 27 successful years, comm:unications has become comm: consulting & services GmbH. Sarah Krasser, who has been on board for a year, has been promoted to authorized signatory and junior partner. The 33-year-old WU graduate, who began her career in banking and at Accenture, brings experience in internal communications, IT and change management. The agency will thus focus even more strongly on the current needs of its clients. You can read about further concentrated PR expertise in this newsletter.

We promise you a strong PR fall!

Your comm:unications team

Long live democracy!

29 September is election day and, in the spirit of Taylor Swift, we are calling on people to exercise their right to vote. Democracy can be only lived if citizens are proactively informed – a part of many communication agendas that comm:unications implements for the EU and stakeholders. For example, we are proud to be running the PR campaign for the European Citizens’ Initiative, helping people to understand their rights as EU citizens.

Sustainability as a PR booster

CSR reporting will become mandatory in 2025. From then on, SMEs will have to disclose the impact of their business activities on society and the environment. One of comm:unications’ core competencies is the authentic presentation of these mandatory evaluations. As the missing link, our team prepares the reports as a figurehead for your company. Because a lively and appealing sustainability report strengthens your image and makes people want to dock on to your company. Get in touch with us!

PR and cybercrime

When there’s fire on the roof, it gets expensive! That’s why comm:unications offers special workshops on controversial topics such as cybercrime and crisis communication for companies. You’re also in the right place when it comes to NIS2. Our modular workshops are supported by a team of experts with a wealth of experience and specialist knowledge. By the way: In the latest TGA article, our client LST talks about implementing NIS2.

Etats: from EU to art

comm:unications won the pitch against five agencies and was entrusted with the Healthy Lungs for Life campaign by the European Lung Association. For the EU, comm:unications is implementing the “Let’s Make it Work” campaign in an eye-catching way. As part of the Viennale, citizens are informed about their labor and social rights. Time and place: Vienna’s Urania, October 19 and 20. And recently, the agency from Wasagasse has been looking after the artist Wolf Werdigier, whose works were on display at Parallel Vienna, among others.

360° PR success for the lungs

With over 20,000 visitors to the Lung Congress, hundreds of visitors to the Giant Ferris Wheel and over 200 lung tests at two “Lung Test School Days” in Vienna, comm:unications contributed to a new visitor record after Barcelona and Munich. The client was the renowned European Foundation for Lung Research. 360°PR was commissioned. The cooperation with the City of Vienna and patient organisations was also handled by comm:unications.

Within the agency

There is a lot going on at comm:unications. The team has been based in Wasagasse for just over a year now and, as a newly founded limited company, has a lot of plans. Our team has been joined by two senior consultants, Olaf Pempel and Julia Wolkerstorfer, and a PR assistant, Anna Pietsch. A warm welcome to all of you! We wish you a colourful, happy and successful autumn.
