Joint venture between Int/Ext Communications and Gibbs & Soell
The Basel-based consulting firm Int/Ext Communications is expanding its business operations: It is establishing a joint venture with the independent American communications agency Gibbs & Soell Inc.
This joint venture includes the former Gibbs & Soell branch in Zurich, which is responsible for its European business. Gibbs & Soell established this office in 2000 to provide local support to its clients with operations in Europe. Gibbs & Soell will close its offices in Zurich and relocate the branch to the headquarters of Int/Ext Communications in Basel. Marcel Trachsel, Managing Partner of Int/Ext Communications, will take over the management of the joint venture on a mandate basis.
Both Gibbs & Soell and Int/Ext Communications are partners of PR Organization International (PROI), the most important global network of independent communications firms. This is the first time in PROI's history that two partners have entered into a joint venture.
