Focus on good advice

The aim of the collaboration is to strengthen our PR/media services and ensure that customers receive the best possible guidance to get their messages across.

We see the same in public administration, municipalities as well as in service sectors.

"The combination of social media, content marketing and traditional PR is important. This is something that businesses, organizations as well as municipalities and public administration can make far more use of to get their messages out and achieve their communication goals.

- We will now be able to contribute a wealth of experience to develop good solutions for our customers in the future," says Kurt Inge Dale. "By creating a shared professional environment that promotes joy, commitment and enthusiasm, we expect this to result in even more satisfied customers.

- Media training, writing courses and speech and debate courses will also be something we can offer through our collaboration with Kurt Inge Dale," says Kjersti Hole Haatveit.
