PORTO DE IDEIAS AND THE COMMUNICATION STUDIO JOIN APECOM
With a total of 28 members the association reinforces its growth and diversification strategy
The consultants The Communication Studio and Porto de Ideias just joined APECOM, which now has a total of 28 members. These recent entries, joining others such as Notable, Eupportunity, The Square, Marco and Canela, are the result of of this presidency's focus, since its election in 2021, to integrate the largest possible number of agencies that represent the communication and public relations market, thus making APECOM an increasingly relevant institutional player. Porto de Ideias, is a Communication and Public Relations Consultancy, led by Carlos Furtado and Isabel Côrte-Real, based in Porto with more than 20 years of activity developing strategic communication to support its clients in the development of their image and reputation and thus contributing to its recognition in the market place. The Communication Studio, founded by Carlota Morais Pires, is a 360 communication studio, Lisbon based, with an eclectic approach that provides its clients with a press office and brand development services in the fields of fashion, arts and lifestyle.
Maria Domingas Carvalhosa, President of APECOM, states that “it is with great satisfaction that we see more consultancies identifying with the strategy and plans of this presidency and are deciding to join APECOM. Without the agencies joining APECOM, their participation and discussion in the resolution of the issues concerning us all, it is more difficult for us to improve our market. It is necessary to continue working towards transparency in the sector, defending and promoting the interests of the associated agencies. We hope more agencies will join us. Big or small. They all count.”
