Experience, Insight, Trust

Experience

Reconnaissance International delivers global business intelligence on sectors with security, authentication, trust and confidence at their heart. These include cash, secure documents, print and authentication technologies, track and trace, fiscal stamps, brand protection, ID and travel documents and – increasingly – the digital domains into which some of these are transposing.

We have a highly experienced team who understand what customers and users need and the processes and technologies involved in these sectors, having spent most of their careers in one or more of these sectors, at all levels from top management through to marketing, product development and R&D.

There is no other company that brings together such an experienced team across the cash, authentication and personal identification sectors, nor one that encompasses people with such a broad range of technical, product, financial, management and marketing backgrounds.

We are unique in this respect. And on hand for you to take advantage of that experience to gain knowledge and insight to help you achieve your goals.

Knowledge is power! 

Put simply, no other organisation has this breadth of experience.

Marketing Services

From a Name That’s Trusted

The currency, document security and ID sectors are a demanding place for any marketing department, calling for communications that are both global and regional, technical but comprehensible, and discreet yet open, in formats ranging from the printed word to online platforms and social media – and with a voice that speaks to everyone from policy makers to lab technicians.

That is why more and more marketeers within the industry are turning to Reconnaissance to support their marketing and communications efforts.

For more than 20 years, Reconnaissance has been publishing industry specific titles like ID & Secure Document News™ and The Directory of Currency Suppliers that have become essential reading for anyone serious about the industry.

Since 1988, we have successfully organised nearly 100 events in 40 countries worldwide – often in a dual-language format. We have grown our digital media team to reflect the growing trend towards webinars, infomercials, and short video formats.

We have, of course, core capability in all communication formats from writing to conferences to webinars, including their related technical and creative elements, as well as being seasoned publishers. We can provide any element of support for your marketing and communications, from simple editing and polishing of copy for your brochures or website through to the development and implementation of multi-channel communications campaigns, and all stages in-between.

Our teams include people who are scientists, technologists, marketeers and experienced business people who have worked at Board level in the industry. There is no other company that combines our industry knowledge with our ability to communicate this knowledge. The result is that whether your marketing and communication needs are functional, tactical or strategic, Reconnaissance can help.

We can help you develop your marketing and communications strategies. We also have the tools and services for the delivery of your strategy through print, online and social media channels, including:

Reconnaissance International has helped us understand the high complexity of Security Market since we met them. Their knowledge and experience of Security Applications, actors and technology is unique. The strategic cooperation between JURA and HP Indigo was announced at Tax Stamp Forum. This Reconnaissance International high level event has marked an important milestone in HP Indigo Secure strategy which allowed us to reveal our strategy dedicated to security printing.
On May 13th and 14th we had a webinar organised by Reconnaissance on the theme of Digital Security Printing. The combination of Digital and Security is very unusual, the topic is new and includes a wide variety of possibilities. Today we have more and more webinars. We did not think that we are going to have many participants but to our biggest surprise we had over 250 participants in both webinars. We had very good discussions and presentations. To evaluate the whole organisation/process done by Reconnaissance I would use the words ‘highly professional. Thank you.

Training and Development

Enhance Your Industry Knowledge

There are many reasons you may want to training input from Reconnaissance.  Perhaps there is the need to update your management team, refresh your sales team, address knowledge gaps, deepen your organisational knowledge, as part of a change management programme etc.  An external provider can bring new information, a fresh perspective, gravitas and highlight the importance of the subject.

The Reconnaissance team has significant experience and knowledge across multiple sectors – including currency issue and circulation, physical and digital authentication, tax stamps, holography, brand protection, supply chain security and sustainability. Based on this, it can provide a range of packages to meet your corporation’s training and development objectives.

The format can be varied to meet your needs, including tailored reports and guides, in-person and virtual workshops and seminars, masterclasses and tutorials, and bespoke training courses.

Our training is engineered to meet your requirements, but can include market overviews, security feature analysis and data, disruptive technologies, compliance, sustainability requirements, to name a few.

In addition to our own team, we have numerous partnerships with individuals and organisations in specialised fields – such as counterfeit analysis, quantum computing, track and trace, digital security, CBDCs, carbon neutrality and the circular economy – that can be brought in to add unique perspectives and practical know-how.
