Contact

CONTACT is one of the first private advertising agencies in Russia.

It was founded in 1989 by young and ambitious specialists of the State TV and Radio Committee of USSR who had although a ten- year work experience in the sphere of mass communications.

In the beginning, the Agency was rendering media-buying services on TV. The fast success in this sphere was possible due to the thorough knowledge of the whole structure of TV broadcasting: works technology, system and structure of broadcasting, structure of TV audience and TV channels, broad relationships in the sphere of mass communications. While the Russian advertising market was just forming up, the Agency used the earned money for selection and training of the personnel, forming its own structure, broadening the range of services rendered.

Such approach enabled the Agency to go up to the new level: from 1993 the development of the complex of services and the quality of the service became the priority task of the Agency. The Agency defined its triune objective: to study thoroughly the market structure, the product and its consumer qualities, to know everything about the consumer.

In 1994 CONTACT became a Member of The Association of the Russian Advertising Agencies, and some of the agency's executives became members of the International Advertising Association (IAA). In the same year, the Agency delegation took part for the first time in the International Advertising Congress in Mexico and met the IAA President and the heads of the largest advertising agencies. All this helped to better understand the main courses of the world advertising business, to evaluate the level of the Agency's work. It was a stimulus for self-perfection. In 1995, the Agency signed the International Code of Advertising Activity.

Today, CONTACT agency renders a full set of services from carrying out a research and working out concepts to realisation of advertising and PR campaigns.
