About PRGN

Client Benefits

Working with PRGN offers big-agency capabilities and reach with the personal service and attention to details of a small agency. Clients benefit from having the hands-on involvement of equity-owning senior counselors on every assignment from strategic development through execution.

Flexibility is the key to working with PRGN. Clients can choose to work with one agency or several. They can decide whether to instruct agencies individually or through a single lead agency.

History

Looking to provide outstanding global public relations solutions while capitalizing on local agency and team expertise, more than 20 distinguished agencies from around the world formed PRGN in 1992. Each agency adheres to the code of ethics established by the Public Relations Society of America and adopted by PRGN. From the start, the mission was simple: provide first-class public relations services in major geographical regions from principal-level local market experts.
