Maria Wedenig
Managing Partner
Trade, commerce, energy, telecoms and more – expertise in communication for various sectors and enthusiasm for ever new topics – many things are interesting, only it shouldn't be boring!
Analytical thinking was already her speciality during her scientific studies and years of work in Graz. Afterwards, the trained speaker and moderator has remained committed to the exciting agency life with over 20 years in Viennese communication agencies until today – at ikp since 2006.
Maria heads the Branded Goods & Retail unit and is an expert in advising companies and organisations in industry & energy.

Our clients come from a wide variety of industries and areas – from social enterprises to health care institutions and interest groups to manufacturing, commercial and industrial enterprises.
Good strategies don’t care who develops them. We are convinced: idiosyncratic minds and independent perspectives enrich every idea, every concept and every PR action.
