Communiqué PR is a proud member of the Public Relations Network (PRN), an international agency organization that now encompasses 28 agencies on five continents. We are PRN’s exclusive partner in the U.S. and have leveraged this collaborative network of member agencies numerous times to secure in-country results for our global clients.

And membership is growing. PRN has just announced its newest member, open up, a communications and PR consultancy based in Zurich, Switzerland. Managed by two partners, Kilian Borter and Melanie Schneider, the agency supports larger companies, SMEs, and non-profit organizations in all their communications needs. Specializing in the financial and insurance sectors, IT and telecommunications, tourism and transport, education and healthcare, open up has been a member of the Association of PR Agencies in Switzerland (BPRA) since 2010, and was certified in accordance with international standards (ICCO) for the first time in 2011

Expansion of the network to include a Swiss partner, and in particular an agency with a focus on IT and telecom, is a welcome addition.

“Although Switzerland is not a large market it is nonetheless a very important one with a specific media scene,” said Veit Mathauer, PRN board member and managing partner of PRN member agency sympra, GmbH. “The different languages spoken in this region make the media more complex and this is why we are especially delighted to have found a reliable and competent partner for this country. First projects have shown that we have a common understanding regarding PR and quality.”

Communiqué was selected as the U.S. agency in late-2013 after working with several of the member agencies to secure results not only for our clients around the world but to help garner attention in the U.S. for PRN member clients.
