Looking to Join?
Be A Partner
IPREX partners are independently-owned generalist or specialist firms and are considered leaders in their respective markets. To join the IPREX network, a prospect firm will have a business plan, be financially sound and have a solid business history. They must demonstrate a commitment to professionalism, quality performance, continuous staff development, broad experience, high ethical standards and responsibility to their community and profession. The prospect will go through a vetting process by IPREX, which includes a site visit and being voted on by the Executive Committee, followed by voting by all partners.
Partnership Benefits
Partners in IPREX receive numerous benefits from their membership, including an international reach. Blue-chip business is becoming increasingly difficult to win and retain without access to strong international links. The 60 plus firms within the IPREX corporation represent some of the world’s largest companies. They have the rare experience of working together across borders – an important asset in the global economy. IPREX gives you a closely-knit group of colleagues around the world, and thus a friendly welcome and office facilities when you, your staff or your clients are traveling.
Business Referrals
Partners introduce new business leads to each other frequently and call upon one another to handle client assignments. Partners, upon request, provide ideas, case studies and fresh perspectives for their colleagues’ business proposals.
Information Sharing
Since IPREX partners are not competitors, they share information readily. Many challenges confronting partners have already been faced by other partners, who are ready to share their knowledge. Partners also have access to each other’s specialist expertise, ranging from investor relations and risk communication to high technology and cause-related marketing.
Marketing and Staff Support
In addition to a presence on the IPREX web site, various marketing materials and an internal newsletter assist each partner as they seek to grow their business.
Educational teleseminars, featuring experts from within and outside IPREX, are presented throughout the year at no charge to partners and their staff.
IPREX hosts several meetings each year in various regions for principals. The two to three-day meetings address a wide range of issues from firm management to the latest trends in public relations and marketing. Interested in becoming a partner? Email us today to find out more.
An annual Global Leadership Conference gives promising middle managers from IPREX firms an opportunity to get together for several days of meetings, workshops, training, presentations and fun.
