MS&L Group, one of the world’s top five public relations and events networks, is to establish a presence in Malta through a strategic alliance between its Italian office and Corporate Identities International of Valletta.

With a presence in more than 22 countries, MS&L is the flagship specialised organisation within Publicis Groupe, the world’s third largest communications group with activities spanning 104 countries and 43,000 professionals.

Saatchi and Saatchi is also part of Publicis Groupe.

“Recent developments in Malta, its strong financial services sector and crucial strategic role in the sector have been noted,” Alessandro Chiarmasso, of the Corporate and Finance Business Unit at MS&L Italy, said.

“The current Maltese Vision 2015 strategy is also very ambitious yet attainable and therefore, our presence in Malta has become a natural move for our organisation.”

Corporate Identities International managing director said the development signalled a very important phase at the local company which has recently announced another important partnership with Saatchi & Saatchi Health.

Availing themselves of the latest research and the freshest industry insights, MS&L Group’s specialists guide clients through complex market conditions backed by significant experience in myriad sectors ranging from retail and energy to technology and construction industries.

MS&L Group has been honoured by The Public Relations Society of America, the International Association of Business Communicators, and The Holmes Group, among others.
