Public relations (PR) and marketing communications specialist Michael Cassar has been appointed PR & Corporate Communications Client Partner at Malta-based marketing agency The Concept Stadium, he shared on Monday.

This comes after he worked as Manager of PR, Communications & Consultancy for 12 years at marketing communications agency BPC International Ltd, which is gradually winding down its operations.

“Hand on heart, the past weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions, with moments of heart-wrenching goodbyes and hopeful beginnings,” Mr Cassar said, thanking his former colleagues at BPC International for the memories and support over the years. He also thanked a local agency for providing him with support “in more ways than they knew”.

Mr Cassar also extended his appreciation to the Maltese media, “especially journalists and editors,” with whom he has established “sincere relationships and collaborations”. “Here’s to another decade of fruitful relationships,” he added.

He concluded by also expressing gratitude towards his clients, past and present, for their trust and appreciation.

Mr Cassar holds a Master of Science in Strategic Public Relations from University of Stirling and a Bachelor of Arts in Tourism (Honours) from University of Malta.

The Concept Stadium is a creative marketing agency that specialises in branding, web and marketing communications, offering a “personalised service which is geared towards achieving what clients have in mind”. It has worked with a number of local and international brands including Epic Communications, Nestle, Hyatt Regency, APS Bank and Corinthia Group, among others.
