As a boutique firm, we opted to join the Public Relations Network (PRN) in 2013 to provide our clients with in-country communication counsel and support around the world. Since that time, we have worked with PRN member firms in Germany, Italy, France, India, Mexico, Hong Kong, China, Japan, and the U.K, to deliver top-notch results on behalf of our clients. Similarly, we partnered with member agencies to provide their clients with media relations counsel and execution in the U.S. on behalf of their clients.
Therefore, we are thrilled to share that the Public Relations Network has expanded its reach to Brazil with the addition of SPMJ Comunicação and to Viet Nam with the addition of EloQ Communications. Both with target audiences and media, we recognize the dynamics within a market vary. Having a trusted partner in-country to strategize with and execute activities is extremely valuable for our clients. Through the Public Relations Network we can deliver cost-effective results for our clients globally.
Given the growth of its membership, PRN has also expanded its board of directors. Earlier this month it was announced that Richard Postins, Prova PR (U.K.); Jodi Echakowitz, Boulevard Public Relations (Canada); Héctor Iván Lira Hevia, F1rstcomm Comunicación (Mexico); and Sarah Song, Integra Communications (South Korea) were appointed to the board. They will join current directors Veit Mathauer, Sympra GmbH (Germany); Belinda Chan, Creative Consulting Group (Hong Kong); and me, Colleen Moffitt, Communiqué PR (U.S.).
The new larger board will help showcase cross network brand collaborations, drive inter-network knowledge sharing and coordinate future PRN member meetings. The next two meetings are scheduled as follows:
- Winter 2021 – Taipei, Taiwan – Jan. 28-29, 2021
- Summer 2021 – Seattle, U.S. – June 24-25, 2021
We look forward to future campaigns with our colleagues around the globe!
