International Network

Backstage is backed by a worldwide network of partners

Backstage has its own team of experienced PR consultants to handle your communications needs in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxemburg. But we can also help you in other European markets. Over the years we have worked for many international clients, thereby building up a large network of high-quality local PR agencies. Acting as a single point of contact, we can coordinate communications initiatives with these local PR agencies. Or you can opt to have us introduce you to them, allowing you to manage your non-Benelux communications directly with them.
