1998
First Communications starts to operate
We were the first public relations agency in Podlasie.
Today, we are the only agency on the market so familiar with the dairy industry. Due to such experience, we feel entitled to provide what is the best and, therefore, we specialise in strategic solutions for the milk production and processing sector.
2002
First Dairy Cooperatives Forum
Having organised a conference devoted to the situation of the dairy industry in Poland and the whole world for the first time, we did not expect our undertaking to be so successful.
The Dairy Cooperatives Forum is the largest cyclical event in East-Central Europe and undoubtedly the most prestigious conference in Poland.
“The Forum in Augustów is a meeting place and platform for exchanging views for representatives of dairy cooperatives which is unique on a European scale, and perhaps the whole world.”
Prof. Andrzej Babuchowski, Minister Councillor in the Permanent Representation of the Republic of Poland to the EU
“The Dairy Cooperative Forum in Augustów is a place for making decisions which really matter for the industry, among other things, related to development and consolidation of Polish dairy cooperatives.”
Edmund Morawski, Chairman of SM Mlekpol and Polish Chamber of Milk
2007
Launch of the “Milk with class” (Mleko z klasą) programme
“Milk with class” is a national social programme and a joint initiative of Polish milk manufacturers, the Healthy Nutrition Promotion Council and Tetra Pak company aimed at creating a healthy habit – drinking milk by children on a daily basis.
The campaign turned into a model programme encouraging to drink milk at schools in many EU Member States as well as in Japan and China.
From the earliest beginnings, we have carried out marketing and public relations activities to the benefit of this programme.
2008
Appointment of the Polish Chamber of Milk
The initiator of the creation of Chamber of Commerce of the dairy industry was Agnieszka Maliszewska. The idea was born from the experience of several years of the organization Dairy Cooperatives Forum. Effective promotion and lobbying activities aimed at strengthening the Polish dairy industry and dairy products on the domestic and foreign markets required an entity, that would represent the interests of Polish cooperatives and the dairy industry.
First Communications has developed and implemented marketing concept and strategy for internal and external communications of the Chamber. Until today we deal with the management of the current activities of the organization and leading public relations actions.
