AI-driven and actionable insights to power superior marketing and business performance

LONDON and ATHENS – April 10th, 2024   UK-based AI communications consultancy Escherman and Athens-based Spin Communications have announced a partnership to deliver unique AI-driven tools and services to corporate marketing and communications teams across Europe.

Escherman is a communications consultancy focussed on developing AI-based applications and services as well as providing AI communications training to corporate businesses.  It will provide the AI knowledge and R&D resources to combine with the strategic communication expertise and experience of Spin Communications to help corporate organisations to gain maximum value from AI.

The new partnership will be officially launched in Athens on May 13th, 2024. Full details of the launch event and location will be released shortly.

According to Escherman founder Andrew Bruce Smith: “It’s clear from the huge demand for AI communications training that there is a huge amount of education required to help corporate communications and marketing teams properly understand exactly how and where AI can be applied to their work. It also means that very different kinds of tools and services need to be developed to support AI driven corporate communication efforts. The partnership between Spin and Escherman is designed to provide a unique combination of strategic corporate communications expertise with real world understanding of how AI can be practically applied to provide real world value to corporate marketing efforts.”

Commenting on the announcement, Spiros Rizopoulos, CEO Spin Communications, said: “We first began talking with Escherman in 2023 and quickly established we shared similar views as to how AI might best support the needs of corporate communicators in an AI-driven world. Namely, AI needs to be combined with human expertise. In fact, expertise matters more than ever. By combining human expertise and experience with applied and informed application of AI is where the opportunity lies”.  We are now ready to make available our initial offerings. Over time, we intend to expand the range of tools and services on offer to make sure we are adapting to the highly dynamic nature of AI technology to best support the ever-changing requirements of corporate communication and marketing departments.”
