“Make or buy” is a core question in each economic deal. This also applies for self-employed communications consultants. An agency, or a network? This was my initial question in 2008. Today, I cooperate with people and organizations that I trust and whose capabilities I can attest to. From this network, project-specific expert teams are formed that develop and implement solutions. Current partners are:
- Ulf und Stefan M. Beecken, Managing Directors of Beecken’s agency for corporate
   communications, Düsseldorf (www.beecken.de)
- Thomas Leschig, Managing Director of relations association for corporate development,
   Hamburg (www.relations-vvv.de)
- Dirk Meissner, Meissner-Cartoons, Cologne, who injects humor into the most difficult of
   messages – and who has left his mark on these pages. (www.meissner-cartoons.de)
