Virginia-based ICF International has locked up an estimated $28M, four-year pact with the executive body of the European Union.
The firm is charged with developing and implementing communications strategies for the European Commission's Executive Agency for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises and for several directorates general covering climate, energy, agriculture and industry, to name a few.
ICF's Brussels-based unit, ICF Mostra, will lead the work. It also recently picked up an event management services pact with the EU.
"Winning this contract means that not only will we continue to help our long-term EC clients communicate with stakeholders on large and important policy matters, but also leverage for maximum impact the capabilities available through both contracts to increase audience engagement around our clients’ events, trainings and seminars," said ICF SVP Gene Costa.
