Happy New Year everyone. So a new year, new hope, new opportunities.
For successful international PR campaigns, it is very important to have PR professionals who understand the local market, know the local media, live the local culture and speak the local language. But this does not have to mean you have to have a retained PR firm in each country. Much of the management can be handled at a regional level, for instance campaign coordination, creating regional content and measurement of success. So in-country teams focus on personal media outreach and monitoring.
There are also benefits for certain campaigns that may only need to reach an English speaking audience such as in South East Asia, Middle East or Southern Africa where there are number of regional media in English or in Latin America where Spanish and Portuguese dominate.
Now that we are working in 50 countries and with Regus in 30, it was time to move forward with our plan to establish 10 regional hubs that can cover the whole world. These regional hubs will be
- London: Western Europe
- Paris: Southern Europe
- Munich: DACH region
- Prague: Central & Eastern Europe
- Dubai: Middle East
- Johannesburg: Africa
- Singapore: Asia
- Sydney: Australasia
- Buenos Aires: Latin America
- San Francisco: North America
Apart from London and Paris, which are owned offices, BondPR regional hubs will be joint ventures with independent local PR firms or experienced professionals who are already working with us. Where possible we will concentrate resources and activity at the regional hub level and bring in any of our established team of local delivery partners in over 80 countries as required.
The aim is to offer one point of contact for the world or the region, so reducing the hassle of coordinating multiple agencies or managing separate campaigns at a country level. This means clients retain control centrally or regionally, ensuring consistent messages, topical content and cost effective use of budget.
So if you want to talk to the world, talk to us, global campaigns just got easier…….. more info
