The World Karate Federation has partnered with MSM PR & Communications to deliver a successful communications strategy for the sport’s historic debut at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

MSM will help the WKF’s Communications Department to shape the narrative of Karate’s first Olympic appearance, while also assisting in the delivery of traditional and digital media in the lead up to and during the Games.

“We know the WKF team well from past events so it is quite a natural fit for MSM to join forces with the federation for this significant Olympic milestone,” said MSM CEO Andrew Mitchell. “Together we will tell the stories of the sport and especially the athletes as karate returns ‘home’ for what is arguably the biggest moment in the federation’s history.”
