IPREX’s First Americas Cohort Connects Independent Agencies Around AI, Growth and Global Opportunity
Big Picture PR, Precision Strategies and Tiny Mighty Communications join new IPREX initiative built around peer learning, practical support and cross-market collaboration.
Tallahassee, Florida (9 September 2026) — IPREX, the global network of independent communications agencies, has launched its first Americas Partner Cohort, bringing together three independent agencies to share ideas, build relationships and explore how the global network can help them navigate AI, growth and changing client needs.
The inaugural cohort includes Big Picture PR in San Fransico, Precision Strategies in Washington, D.C., and Tiny Mighty Communications in Nashville, Tennessee.
“Independent agencies are at their best when they combine local knowledge and specialist strengths with trusted expertise from around the world,” Heidi Otway, Global President of IPREX and President + Partner of SalterMitchell PR said. “Our first Americas Partner Cohort brings three agencies directly into that exchange, connecting them with peers, ideas and practical experience as they navigate AI, growth and changing client needs. It is about building the relationships that lead to stronger work and new opportunities.”
Over the coming months, cohort agencies will connect with IPREX partners across the Americas and worldwide through mentoring, leadership programming and the network’s shared resources. The program gives participants direct access to the shared intelligence and practical experience of agency leaders working across markets and disciplines.
The cohort reflects IPREX’s continued focus on giving independent agencies practical ways to learn from one another, develop their people, build stronger and more future-ready businesses, and access expertise beyond their own markets. IPREX partners share ideas, client opportunities and specialist knowledge across the network, while remaining independently owned, locally led and close to their clients.
The cohort will culminate at the IPREX Americas Regional Conference in Tarrytown, New York, where the agencies will meet the wider regional network and explore further opportunities for collaboration.
