The world’s leading trade association focused on management of information, communications and entertainment services has appointed March Communications, to support public relations activity in North America.
The TM Forum will be working with March to support its drive into new sectors as the telecommunications continues to evolve. March will also be responsible for maximizing the public relations and marketing opportunities surrounding the Forum’s ManagementWorld Orlando event while working closely with show exhibitors.
“One of the Forum’s key challenges lies in maintaining our visibility within core telecommunications markets while driving understanding of our role in new sectors such as cable, device management, entertainment and new media,” said Nick Willetts, Head of Marketing for the TM Forum. “March Communications has a really strong understanding of our markets that it can marry with strong client experience in the new sectors we are targeting.”
March is cementing its position as a leading provider of public relations and other marketing services to the information, communications and entertainment market sectors, building on client success with Apertio (recently acquired by Nokia Siemens), Axiom Systems (recently acquired by Comptel Corporation), Bluestreak Technologies, Comptel Corporation, JacobsRimell (recently acquired by Amdocs OSS), Psytechnics, TierOne OSS Technologies and United Mobile.
“We are delighted to welcome TM Forum on board with our existing clients in the telecommunications and media space,” said Martin Jones, Managing Partner of March Communications. “As the telecommunications sector continues to evolve so the Forum must ensure its relevance and value is properly understood by the extending value chain.”
