NEW YORK / LONDON / SEOUL – Continuing its expansion in the important Asia-Pacific region, the Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) announced today it has added Seoul-based PR House to its global network
Additionally, the worldwide public relations (PR) group also celebrated the opening of a new member office in the Netherlands by its Belgium member agency Two cents.
These moves bring the number of agencies in the worldwide public relations network to 55 and solidifies the group’s place among the top global PR networks.
“I am excited to welcome PR House into our global network of outstanding practitioners and independent firms around the world. PRGN’s entry into South Korea is a great opportunity for our members and their clients as it will accelerate growth and open access to local expertise in a very dynamic marketplace,” said PRGN President Andy See.
“In addition, the expansion into the Netherlands by Two cents showcases PRGN’s support throughout the lifecycle and growth journey of our members. This is in line with our strategic plan to solidify PRGN’s position as an accelerator of growth for our members, their clients and communities,” he added.
The newest PRGN member, PR House, is a full-service public relations agency assisting clients in all aspects of reputation management, specializing in creative integrated communications, effective and measurable implementation and communications counsel.
