iMARS Communications is one of Russia's key market players providing communications services. It is an independent company with a head office in Moscow, a subsidiary in Beijing, China and a vast network of international partners.

"iMARS is among the few Russian PR agencies with strong market positions that are independent and not affiliated with any global network," says Elena Groznaya, managing partner at iMARS.

"Nevertheless, within the recent years, we have been especially focussed on international communications, implementing projects on the European markets as well as in the Asia Pacific region. We have grown a network of local partners worldwide, [and] we are active within the industrial community in Russia," Groznaya adds.

"We are pleased to join PRCA — one of the biggest international professional networks operating globally. The opportunities this partnership gives us will definitely inspire our resources to follow top industry trends and grow our business," she says.

"It's fantastic to welcome iMARS on board as our latest PRCA International Member — especially after having recently announced a global membership drive," says Francis Ingham, director general of MPRCA.

"Their membership will allow them to grow their careers, talents, and knowledge with access to PRCA's unparalleled range of resources and services, and I look forward to working with them," Ingham concludes.
