JOHANNESBURG, (CAJ News) – IRVINE Partners, the international public relations and integrated marketing agency, has been handed the corporate communications account of Huawei Technologies.
The agency will serve as the communications partner for Huawei’s South African corporate office.

“We believe there is significant scope to grow awareness around Huawei’s investment and long-term commitment to doing business in South Africa and we are delighted to partner with them in achieving that,” Irvine said.
