Accucoms signs up AMA and AAP

Accucoms has signed an agreement to deliver journal sales representation and customer support services in Latin America to the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

When speaking about the agreement, Vida Damijonaitis, director of worldwide sales at AMA said: ‘When we decided to outsource our business in this part of the world, we knew that Accucoms would be a very strong contender. They have a great business model and we were extremely impressed with their approach to a virtually untapped and unknown market. The combination of publishing experience and local market knowledge made them the obvious choice.’

The AAP already outsources its journal sales and customer support services in Europe to Accucoms. Kerry O'Rourke, senior managing editor at AAP said: ‘We have already seen an upturn in business as a result of our agreement with Accucoms in Europe, and so we feel very confident that they can deliver in Latin America, too’.
