What a week! CommUnity International Managers Meeting together with Creative Forum is always something special and this time it was really brilliant. Hartinger Consulting GmbH was not only the largest team with 7 participants, but also left quite a mark. Why the network and especially meetings like these are so important for us, I have summarized in an article. I’m looking forward to your thoughts, feedback and comments!

What's the point of this network anyway? What is it good for?

Hartinger Consulting has been involved in various international networks for more than 30 years. Looking beyond the horizon is only one of the motivations. Rather, we simply believe in the power of togetherness. Learning together, working together, getting through crises together and growing together. That’s quite something. And when you add celebrating together to the mix, you get an energy that is irresistible.

And what is the real point now?

Learning from each other: Best practices, trends, methods and tools, developing solutions to common challenges. We are all independent, owner-managed agencies. Without any competitive thinking, with a lot of urge to grow together and always at eye level.

And ask our team members what they learned in 2 days of working with people from other agencies, other countries, other work environments and other languages 😉

Valued partnerships: Full service is no longer something that can be covered in house. But we can say with certainty that we have the right partners for all challenges. And the beauty of it is that we work together because we want to and not because we have to. Meetings like this are also necessary for that. That’s where an agency address becomes a friendship you can trust.

Inspiration: Presentations, trainings, keynotes, but above all the many conversations with the most diverse personalities, provide a real fireworks of ideas. My block is once again full of new approaches, which I would like to discuss and implement with the team as quickly as possible.

Self-awareness: Hartinger Consulting plays an important role in this network. And we also provided some highlights in this meeting: The presentation of our successful recruiting campaign by Frank Wonisch was one of them. Herbert Teichtmeister was on the winning team at the Forum right from his first appearance. Carina, Valentina and Nadine also did great in their Forum teams. And we were able to take home 2 of the coveted C3 Awards for our work last year.
