AWARD-WINNING CAROLYN GRISKO & ASSOCIATES BOOSTS IPREX CHICAGO PRESENCE
April 29, 2010
Award-winning Chicago public relations, public affairs and marketing firm Carolyn Grisko & Associates Inc. (CG&A) has joined IPREX - the worldwide corporation of independent public relations and communication firms.
Founded in 1995, CG&A is best known for its award-winning work in public affairs and issues management - conducting grass roots campaigns, building coalitions and managing media relations programs. Its high-profile campaigns include the O'Hare International Airport expansion drive and the passing of smoke-free legislation in the City of Chicago for the American Cancer Society. CG&A's regulatory work for U.S. Cellular has extended to numerous states across the country.
At the same time, the firm has built a reputation for high-impact marketing and public relations work and is recognized for influential and strategic use of social media. The firm has created and implemented successful social media strategies for multiple clients including Donate Life Illinois, Rush University Medical Center and the Illinois Office of Tourism.
CG&A has won many honors, including Gold and Silver SABRE awards, and for the last two years was described in the Holmes Report as a business "that delivers impact out of all proportion to its relatively modest size." In 2009 Holmes awarded the firm a Certificate of Excellence as one of the Top Ten PR agencies to work for in the United States.
The company's clients include VOA Associates, U.S. Cellular, Illinois Office of Tourism, GTECH Corporation and Gift of Hope Organ and Tissue Donor Network.
IPREX The Americas President Carolyn Mayo (Vollmer Public Relations, Houston) commented: "We're seeing an increasingly confident attitude among independent American public relations firms as the economy recovers. Progressive firms are looking to expand their horizons, and they rightly see IPREX as offering a passport to opportunities at an international level."
Ms. Mayo noted that CG&A joins JSH&A PR and Flowers Communications Group in the Chicago market, adding, "Carolyn Grisko's highly professional team brings complementary skills and experience to the IPREX group in Chicago, and our partners in the US and further afield are looking forward to working with the agency."
CG&A President & CEO Carolyn Grisko said, "Our clients increasingly have a global presence, and through IPREX we can meet their needs worldwide, while maintaining our high standards and customer focus."
