25 Years IC History Our Celebration The Future 2005 - 2029 Over 150 Agency Guests Celebrate at Hagenbeck’s With over 150 guests, including leading representatives of Hamburg’s business and cultural scene, one of Hamburg’s most established PR agencies, Industrie-Contact AG für Öffentlichkeitsarbeit (IC), celebrated its 25th anniversary on August 7th. In fantastic weather as part of the first „Romantic Night“ at Hagenbecks Tierpark an extraordinary show was organized: the Hamburg premiere of the musical work with shadow show “Swim! Gaston Swim!“. The book of the same name by writer Irene Pietsch, which the production is based on, was published at the end of last year in IC’s own Germa Press Verlag publishing house. The production was created in collaboration with the Schleswig-Hostein Music Festival with the Festival Mitte Europa as well as with the support of the Czech Future Fund and the Walther and Käthe Busche Foundation. Among the good-humored guests were the Czech General Consul Peter Boue, the book’s author Irene Pietsch, as well as the production’s composer Professor Frank Böhme and Professor Hermann Rauhe, former head of the Hamburg Music School. Hamburg’s business scene was represented by Professor Dr. Horst Opaschowski of the BAT Leisure Research Institute and Dr. Matthias Pietsch CEO of the LBS Hamburg, as well as many representatives of the Beiersdorf AG, including Manuela Rousseau-Schriever, member of the supervisory board and head of PR-operations at the Beiersdorf AG. The invitation to the premiere of the musical work with shadow show in Hamburg was a way of saying thank you by the agency to its many clients and friends. Jürgen Klimke, CEO of the non-listed AG remarked: “Many renowned companies have been loyal to IC for over 10 and sometimes even 20 years. They know that they can depend on us and we surprise them with new ideas again and again. Like now, by inviting them to an extraordinary event in a remarkable setting to celebrate our anniversary.” For 25 years the PR agency with headquarters in Bahrenfeld has worked with businesses primarily in the fields of health and personal care, technology and logistics as well as finance. Via networks IC can utilize partner agencies in North America as well as Western and Eastern Europe, Asia and Australia.
