MSLGROUP’s Publicis Consultants Wins Global Pitch for the 6th World Water Forum
Paris, 28 November 2011: Following a five-way pitch, the International Committee organising the World Water Forum has chosen Publicis Consultants as its global PR partner for the 6th edition of the Forum. The agency will mobilize its teams in France and across the MSLGROUP international network, to raise the visibility of the Forum worldwide.
After Marrakech, The Hague, Kyoto, Mexico, Istanbul, the 6th World Water Forum will take place in Marseille from March 12th to March 17th 2012, with participants focusing on the theme "A Time for Solutions".
The event which is co-organized by the World Water Council, the French State and the City of Marseille with the support of local and regional communities, will gather a variety of actors - States, companies, local communities, NGOs- all of whom are concerned with issues of water management and sanitization worldwide. The Forum is an essential step in the preparation of the United Nations conference on sustainable development ("Rio+20") which will take place from June 20th to June 22nd 2012. It will also be a unique opportunity to discuss the current challenges linked with water and generate concrete solutions for the future.
Pierre-Samuel Guedj, the associate in charge of the project at Publicis Consultants, commented, "Today the question of access to clean water is more that ever directly linked with health, food and energy issues. We believe that the 6th World Water Forum will be critical in identifying, sharing and implementing concrete solutions in the run up to Rio+20."
