Navigate Response and Brazilian communications firm Race Communications have formed a partnership to enhance response capabilities for maritime incidents in Brazil and to strengthen the services provided to Brazilian companies in the maritime and oil and gas sectors.
Race Communications is a Brazilian PR agency with 15 years of expertise in corporate communications. The company specialises in media relations, crisis management, media training and social media management, and is among the 40 biggest communications agencies in Brazil. Race Communications works with clients of all sizes and in all economic sectors, including major international companies.
Navigate Response, headquartered at London’s Baltic Exchange and in Singapore at the very heart of today’s maritime industry, operates a global network of 35 offices in 25 countries around the world to provide 24/7 emergency crisis media response services to the global shipping, port and offshore industries. The addition of Race Communications to our network boosts our response capabilities for Brazil’s important resource and shipping sectors.
The Race Communications team includes journalists, graphic designers and public relations professionals with vast experience responding to crisis situations. Rogério Artoni, the Director of the agency, became its managing partner in 2005. Since then the company has expanded to provide services in several areas of corporate communications and has opened two new offices to better serve all regions of Brazil.
Navigate Response Director Mark Clark said:
“Our partnership with the experienced team at Race Communications gives us the local knowledge and connections to immediately respond to maritime incidents in Brazil and to incidents around the world that may impact Brazilian companies. The addition of Race Communications to our rapidly expanding network represents our commitment to maintaining the largest communications network for the maritime and offshore industries and provides added assurance to our global clients.
Race Communications Director Rogério Artoni said:
“Race Communications is an agency which works not only with Brazilian companies, but also with international corporations that have offices and operations in Brazil and Latin America. We already have partnerships with PR agencies around the world, and it is a big honour now to be part of the Navigate Response crisis communications network for the maritime industry. Expanding our global connections is an important part of our growth strategy.”
