DETROIT – Following the 2022 Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) Asia Summit Conference and Fall Member Meeting in Singapore, Bianchi Public Relations, Inc. – PRGN’s Detroit affiliate – announced it has added New Zealand-based Alexander PR Ltd. to its global network, enhancing its ability to serve clients throughout the world.
Following the addition of five new affiliate agencies earlier this year, the latest move marks the 30th anniversary of Bianchi PR and PRGN, and further expands the network’s presence in the burgeoning Asia-Pacific region.
The addition raises the number of Bianchi PR affiliates around the world to 52 and adds local PR and communications expertise in the southwest Pacific area from Alexander PR’s office in Auckland, New Zealand.
The newest PRGN member, Alexander PR, is a full-service public relations agency specializing in reputation management. The firm assists boards, CEOs, business owners and marketing decision makers with reputation, strategy, content and commercial opportunities.
“New Zealand’s Alexander PR is a global leader in public relations,” said Jim Bianchi, Bianchi PR founder and president. “Under the leadership of Kate and Dwayne Alexander, the firm serves a stellar client base with innovative and pioneering communications. We are proud to welcome Alexander PR as the 53rd member of our global network and to offer our clients expert local coverage in New Zealand.”
“Joining the global PRGN family is a significant milestone for us and one that we know will benefit both our team and clients,” said Kate Alexander, co-founder of Alexander PR. “We pride ourselves on client service and results within a collaborative, supportive company culture, all of which is rewarded by longevity and tenure – a number of clients and staff have been with us for more than 15 years. Having established a reputation for award-winning work in New Zealand and internationally, we are greatly looking forward to expanding our global footprint and working with like-minded peers in the Public Relations Global Network.”
In addition to joining PRGN, earlier this month Alexander PR added another three accolades to its 11 international awards at the SABRE Awards Asia-Pacific 2022 held in Singapore, including the coveted Diamond SABRE Award – CEO of the Year (Rhiannon McKinnon) – Addressing gender equity through financial wellbeing – Kiwi Wealth with Alexander PR; Geographic – Global (led out of Asia-Pacific with work in other regions) – Changing the world with the 4 Day Week – 4 Day Week Global with Alexander PR; and Best Micro Asia-Pacific Agency to work for – Alexander PR.
Founded in 2005, the team led by experienced communication veterans Kate and Dwayne Alexander, Alexander PR is best known locally for its strategic crisis, issues and reputation management as well as for numerous national and international campaigns.
Among its most notable clients, alongside 4 Day Week Global, Kiwi Wealth, and HERA, are trustee company and philanthropy management leader Perpetual Guardian, life insurer Partners Life, property data and analytics provider CoreLogic New Zealand, accommodation group Sudima Hotels, multinational energy and automation digital solutions specialist Schneider Electric New Zealand, Crimson Education, Cambridge Assessment International Education and a dozen other global stock exchange listed firms.
