MEMBERSHIP FAQ
What types of agencies qualify for PRBI membership?
PRBI members are boutique PR firms where principals work directly on client business. We accept firms with multiple employees, including those set up as “virtual organizations” with a defined team of professionals. Individual freelancers do not qualify.
Is there a size limit for member agencies?
Typically, member agencies have up to 25 employees. However, if you slightly exceed this number, please reach out to discuss further, as exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Can I join PRBI if I'm a member of another PR network?
No, PRBI members cannot be part of another comparable network.
What are the membership fees?
Annual membership dues for PRBI are USD $1,000. This covers various operational costs and contributes to our annual conference. Please note that conference attendance fees are separate from the annual dues.
How much time commitment is required?
While active participation is encouraged to maximize benefits, we understand the demands of running an agency. At minimum, members are expected to attend the annual conference and participate in occasional regional meetings or webinars.
Is there exclusivity in markets?
While we don’t guarantee market exclusivity, we carefully consider market representation when reviewing new member applications to ensure a balanced network.
How does PRBI support collaboration between members?
PRBI facilitates collaboration through our online member portal, annual conference, regional meetings, and by connecting members for specific client opportunities or shared challenges.
