Why Join the IPRN?
Membership Privileges
- The IPRN offers unequalled opportunities for the advancement of knowledge through the exchange of information and experiences with other public relations professionals.
- A strong business referral opportunity is available for members through the interactive database, 'Find A Public Relations Agency'. The database offers clients seeking to hire a public relations agency a means to search the Network member list by location, capabilities and areas of expertise.
- Members hold periodic regional meetings on specific topics to facilitate the sharing of information in addition to the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Held in a different member country each year, the AGM lasts 3-4 days, and is the forum to decide on the development of the organisation, to approve strategies, actions and budgets, and to share communications achievements.
- Members are permitted to apply the IPRN's Seal of Excellence to all company materials as an assurance to clients and prospective clients that they strive to meet high standards of the IPRN.
- The IPRN website enables prospective clients to link to the websites of each member agency.
- Members are invited to submit agency news (in the form of press releases, announcements of new business wins, published articles or research papers) to be posted on the IPRN's 'News' section on the website.
- The IPRN website has a Members Only section to facilitate the sharing of information and provide a forum for discussion. This area provides members with an Intranet through which the general business of the IPRN can be conducted.
- Members have access to international experiences, case studies, resources, local knowledge and expertise from every other member.
- Attendance at the AGM establishes close working relationships with other members, which often facilitates the referral of business from one country to another.
