UK-based consultancy and media relations firm joins trade body TIGA.

London, UK. August 26, 2010. ICO Partners, a UK-based company providing consultancy and media relations services to online games developers and publishers, has joined the trade association TIGA.

ICO Partners specialises exclusively in online gaming, providing consultancy for overseas and EU companies looking to enter the European online gaming space. Its services include strategic and business planning, due diligence, market intelligence, customer communications and community strategy. ICO also helps to source and manage third party partnerships with appropriate European game service providers, and carries out comprehensive pan-European media relations and marketing support for companies looking to promote their online gaming brands across the continent. ICO Partners’ current client list includes NHN Corporation, the top internet company in Korea, independent developer/publisher Riot Games, and Taiwanese online game giant Gamania.

ICO is a British games services company, and although we don’t develop or publish games ourselves, we are deeply entrenched in the UK games community,” said Thomas Bidaux, CEO and co-founder of ICO Partners. “ There are some immensely talented companies and individuals working in the UK games scene, and organisations like TIGA help to bring us together and form a common voice.

Dr. Richard Wilson, TIGA CEO welcomed ICO Partners to TIGA: “ ICO Partners are experts in online gaming. They provide companies with expertise and consultancy in all areas necessary to succeed in Europe – from distribution to marketing and PR.
