Firm summary
By the Everything-PR Editorial Team. Originally published July 2015. Updated October 13, 2026. Part of EPR's PR Firms & Communications Agencies Directory. International siblings: London · Israel · Saudi Arabia · Tokyo.
The leading PR firms in Greece are Ogilvy Greece, V+O Communication, Communication Effect (part of the Edelman network), IKON Porter Novelli and Solid Havas, with a long tail of Athens independents such as Palladian, Extrovert and Davlas PR. Greece's PR market is small and concentrated in Athens, and it mixes local independents with affiliates of the global networks. This ranking is editorial, firms do not pay for inclusion, and the descriptions come from company websites and public profiles, which Everything-PR has not independently audited.

How was the Greece ranking built?
The ranking weighs four factors: network reach for multinational mandates, independence and local depth, sector specialization, and how long the firm has operated in Athens. Everything-PR is a publisher, not an agency. Earlier versions of this page named individual executives and client lists, and those were removed because they could not be verified as current.
What does the Greek PR market look like?
The Greek market is small and city-concentrated, and almost every major agency is based in Athens. V+O Communication describes itself as the largest communications and PR agency in Southeastern Europe, with offices in six countries and more than 100 employees, according to its president's profile, which is an older company biography. Other markets reach Greece through the global networks, so a multinational brand usually chooses between a network office and a local independent.
Which Greek PR firm should you choose?
Match the firm to the mandate and ask each shortlisted firm for current clients and the named team.
| Need | Where to start |
|---|---|
| A multinational brand entering Greece | Ogilvy Greece, Communication Effect, IKON Porter Novelli or Hill+Knowlton Strategies |
| Corporate and public affairs across Southeastern Europe | V+O Communication |
| Technology PR | BrilliantPR |
| Lifestyle, fashion or luxury | Davlas PR |
| Maritime, travel or health PR | Extrovert |
