IPREX LEADS GLOBAL NETWORKS OUT OF DOWNTURN
June 24, 2010
"All things considered, no global PR network braved the economic downturn as well as IPREX" according to the latest O'Dwyer's review of international PR networks.
For the second year running IPREX has shown the strongest growth among the worldwide networks, adding five new partners and $20m revenues.
IPREX Worldwide President Kathy Tunheim (Tunheim Partners, Minneapolis) attributes this to well-managed existing partners remaining successful during the downturn combined with the addition of forward-thinking new partners:
"While we are extending our geographical reach, particularly in EMEA, South America and Asia, our strategy of building deep sector and practice capability is attracting ambitious independent firms from our existing markets looking for access to global business.
"We are adding partners with specialisms in both industry sectors such as clean-tech and consumer products and practice skills such as multicultural communication, and helping these firms work together for the benefit of our clients. Our public affairs specialists from around the world, for instance, are meeting in Washington DC next month."
