The ICOM Network is an invaluable resource for Switch. It’s funny, there are many memberships available that are just a stamp of approval. Something you do to check off a box. ICOM…
Since May 2006, Switch has been a proud and active member of ICOM, an exclusive global network of over 70 like-minded independent agencies with a shared commitment to growth and collaboration.
Being part of ICOM empowers us to serve our clients with greater agility and perspective. As members of this trusted, non-competing community, we tap into a collective of global expertise, shared knowledge, and specialisations, all while staying true to the values that define our work.
We are also proud to serve ICOM directly as one of their chosen marketing partners, a role that speaks to the trust, synergy, and impact we’ve built within the network over the years. It’s a partnership that reflects our belief in collaboration with purpose, and a shared ambition to elevate independent agencies across the globe.
Members of our team actively contribute to ICOM’s specialised groups: collaborative circles focused on specific areas such as leadership, AI, and strategy. These peer-led communities keep us sharp, connected, and always learning while helping shape best practices across the network.
Through hands-on participation, leadership roles, and real client work within the network, ICOM has helped us build meaningful connections, improve our business, and continuously expand what we can offer our clients.
