Network. Meet. Repeat.

IPREX knows no geographic boundaries. We are agency professionals who are dedicated to helping each other grow. Our conferences allow partners to deepen their relationships, improve their understanding, and drive innovation. There’s always a new partner or colleague to meet, all vetted by IPREX.

Every partner receives a return on investment (ROI) from IPREX in different combinations of collaborating, learning, marketing, and networking.

Testimonials

“We’re continually growing that client, and IPREX is the reason why. Had we not had the network to handle city by city work on the school program, they’d never have turned to us for their crisis work – much of it shared with IPREX partners – and now we generate more regular revenue from another division of the company for a whole new line of work.”

Nick Vehr
CEO, Vehr Communications, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA

“There are highly skilled people operating cutting-edge communication services and running very successful firms in IPREX, where best practices share this expertise for the benefit of every partner and every client.”

Harri Kammonen
Managing Director, Manifesto, Helsinki, Finland

“The IPREX emerging leaders’ meeting is one of the best investments our firm has made for professional and business development, leadership training, ideation and networking.”

Heidi Otway
Vice President and Partner, SalterMitchellPR, Tallahassee, Fla, USA and Chair of the IPREX Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee

“Our world is becoming increasingly interconnected, changing how we live, work, do business, and communicate. A contemporary agency cannot position itself as an expert in this new environment without global exposure, know-how, expertise, and connections. IPREX provides all of this, along with successful business partnerships.”

Mania Xenou
CEO at Reliant Communications, Athens, Greece

“We added technology from California and specialist finance from New York to our client presentation – they loved it, we went ahead, it worked and the client said we’d proved the IPREX model in one project.”

Pat Milan
Chief Insights Officer, Tunheim, Minneapolis, USA

“Being in the network has definitely opened doors and opportunities for our staff and clients to get exposure and insights into global markets. [IPREX] has seen our agency involved in many firsts, such as conducting exciting webinars, podcasts, collaborating with like-minded agencies, and presenting local perspectives at IPREX’s global events. Based in Singapore and a vibrant region like Southeast Asia, we are proud to provide expertise to any of our members who need support in this region.”

Director, Asia PR Werkz, Singapore
