“In two of the toughest economic years in recent memory, PRBI’s growth has continued,” said PRBI president Bill Cowen, president of Metrospective Communications, Philadelphia, Pa. “Our members, and more importantly, our clients, recognize that PRBI serves a previously unmet need even in challenging times.”
“During these times, some of the largest companies have returned to hiring small agencies for their PR work,” Cowen added. “They appreciate that our agencies are unique, led by senior executives who wanted to get back to working with clients and applying their skills and experience as entrepreneurs. PRBI offers both senior-level talent and small-agency collaboration. Working together, PRBI agencies provide the breadth of big agencies while retaining the benefits of the boutique experience for our clients and members. It’s a winning combination.”
