AMI Communications

What AMI Communications does

AMI Communications, spol. s r.o., founded in 1995 in Prague, is a privately held Czech public relations and strategic communications agency serving enterprise, government, and institutional clients across Central Europe. The firm is led by Managing Partner Marek Stránský with Partners Milan Hejl and Jan Kučmáš, and operates with 11-50 employees organized into seven sector-specialized teams covering industrial, automotive, finance, beverage, healthcare, ICT, and FMCG verticals. Its service portfolio spans strategy and analysis, media relations, crisis communication, internal communication, social media management, investor relations, and community relations, delivered as retainer and project-based professional services engagements.

The agency generates revenue entirely through professional services fees — no software product, SaaS, or proprietary technology platform is disclosed. Distribution is direct via dedicated account teams from a Prague headquarters, with regional offices in Bratislava (opened 1999) and Sofia (opened 2005), and international reach enabled through an affiliation with the Edelman global PR network dating to 1998. Three wholly-owned subsidiaries historically extended the offering: AMI Digital (digital agency, launched 2009), PAN Solutions (Public Affairs, founded 2002; transferred to Jana Marco's full control in 2026), and Design Communications (graphics studio, founded 2003). The agency's go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, leveraging 100+ industry awards (including 70+ Czech PR Awards, a Sabre Award, and three European Excellence Awards), a documented 68% client referral rate, and named enterprise relationships with clients such as Sberbank CZ, MERO ČR, Ford, Mattoni, Buřinka, Česká pojišťovna, Bene Meat Technologies, KKCG, and Rolls-Royce SMR. The business is privately held by three managing shareholders with no institutional funding or external PE/VC backing evidenced; no revenue is publicly disclosed.
