AgencyExperts – international platform for communications experts
On the initiative of Skills Managing Director Jürgen Gangoly, a new network for quality management in the communications industry was established in 2020.
AgencyExperts is an international organization of experts in the field of communications based in Vienna. The founding members from several countries aim to promote networking between PR and communications agencies across borders. AgencyExperts also offers coaches, interim management, management consultants, and auditors for quality certification of agencies (e.g., the Austrian PR Quality Mark).
AgencyExperts offers an online platform with an integrated database where experts can be easily found. The platform www.agencyexperts.at is freely accessible and free of charge.
AgencyExperts places particular emphasis on consulting and support for the introduction of quality management systems in communications agencies. It provides independent auditors who carry out quality certifications in cooperation with national and international industry associations.
From agency practice for industry colleagues
Jürgen H. Gangoly, initiator and founder of AgencyExperts and managing director of Skills: “We know from experience that anyone who runs an agency also needs entrepreneurial coaching from time to time. You always benefit from a second opinion, especially when it comes from experienced industry colleagues. With our online platform ‘AgencyExperts.at’, we therefore promote networking among industry experts on a personal level – across company and national borders. This makes agencies and their managers more successful and crisis-proof.”
“By promoting quality management in the communications industry and providing independent auditors for quality certification of agencies, we also want to support the application and dissemination of international quality standards and the ethics and quality initiatives of national and international industry associations in the PR and communications industry,” adds Anita Mohl, lead auditor and managing director of AgencyExperts.
www.agencyexperts.at exclusively lists experts who are themselves certified quality auditors or agency executives and who can point to a successful career and many years of practical management experience. These “AgencyExperts” can be booked as coaches or to carry out quality certifications – for example, in accordance with the international Consultancy Management Standard (CMS) of ICCO as well as ISO or TÜV specifications.
