“The new, search friendly PRGN.com gives prospective clients one-stop access to a curated suite of PR services. Also, it serves as a common conversation point for member agencies to interact with each other and build business together,” Rytter said.
The website also offers new resources for PR pros searching for tools and templates to guide them as well as the first-ever international job search banks for the PR profession.
“For those on the outside, the website is a new resource that anyone can use, including those hunting for a job in one of our 50 markets,” Rytter explained.
PRGN is planning a celebration for its 25th anniversary later this year.
