Brussels, Belgium – 2 October, 2012. More than one hundred Brussels-based talents have joined forces to provide specialized expertise to help associations and corporations with their strategic and operational development. LOGOS Public Affairs founding partners Fred Soudain and José Lalloum are pleased to announce their Public Affairs consultancy, founded 15 years ago, is now fully integrated in MCI Group, the final stage of a collaborative partnership established 5 years ago. The integration of LOGOS into MCI Group creates a unique mix of expertise to support European and International organisations in Brussels and in Europe with their Public Affairs, Association, Communications and Event management needs.

”Strengthening an existing relationship with MCI, LOGOS is fully aligned to the objectives and corporate culture of MCI. Public Affairs as a key component will reinforce MCI’s services to existing and future clients and build on its strategic vision. We will continue to serve our clients with the same commitment and creativity, but the addition of MCI’s 47 office-strong global infrastructure (24 of which are in Europe) presents an impressive global/local platform to expand our offering.” said Fred Soudain. “The result of a great cooperation over the past 5 years, this is a new era for LOGOS as an integral part of the MCI group. We look forward to the numerous opportunities and tremendous potential for growth which will benefit our clients and colleagues” adds Jose Lalloum.

“Incorporating our own Public Affairs competency within MCI reinforces our ability to serve, develop and build associations with a fully integrated and strategic value proposition providing a one-stop solution, or project-based expertise, to our clients,” comments Nikki Walker, MCI’s Vice President of Association Management & Consulting.
