Oxygen PR, based in Bucharest and founded by Tereza Tranaka, is an integrated, forward-thinking agency, focused on driving engagement for top brands by marrying traditional public relations expertise with corporate communication strategists and online talent. Oxygen operates in Romania, Greece and Bulgaria. The agency's client portfolio includes brands such as Heineken, Affligem, DIAGEO, Amway, Mothercare, Olympus, Garanti Bank, Skoda and others. "Extending our knowledge and international presence through the partnership with GOC will bring added value to our team, clients and partners. At the same time, GOC will capitalize on our strong expertise in SEE markets and create synergies for their clients. We are thrilled to be part of GOC network that brings together a very talented and dynamic team of PR professionals," said Tereza Tranaka, Managing Partner, Oxygen. Created as a way to expand the reach of local PR campaigns and to serve the needs for businesses looking for international PR campaigns on a leaner budget, GOC officially launched in May having operated on an informal basis since 2010. GOC's unique selling point is its ability to offer a completely flexible solution for clients wishing to expand their international operations. Rather than be tied to weighty contracts, GOC clients can test and run both short and long term projects in different countries under a single scope of work. GOC's clients range from large global organisations through to small start-ups and span many industries: however, the network's core strength is in technology clients. About Global One Communication Global One Communication (GOC) is a strategic, non-exclusive union of many of the World's leading independent agencies who have come together to deliver truly local programs for international companies. GOC stands out as a global communications solution that betters those offered by large global PR groups because of its flexibility, senior level staff, ability to offer clients quick turnaround on any project and knowledge base of specific local markets. The main reason for this network's existence is so that our collective international clients can have peace of mind that their public relations or communications programs will be handled with precision and care by the highest quality local partners in all markets. We also wanted to create an environment where we could learn from each other: All the GOC partner companies meet regularly, offering each other ideas and leveraging each other's expertise to exchange knowledge of local market practices.
