"Why I Belong to the Council of Public Relations Firms"

By Cos Mallozzi, Chairman & CEO, Gibbs & Soell

Let's face it: Business has been challenging in 2009, particularly when compared to the strong growth we've seen over the past several years.  A global recession has forced many of our clients to tighten, and re-tighten, their budgetary belts. Here at Gibbs & Soell, we have redoubled our efforts to ensure that our clients receive outstanding service, partnering with them to develop and implement strategic programs that ultimately have a positive impact on their bottom line. We look to the Council for support of these efforts through its professional training initiatives, industry benchmarks, industry leadership forums and much, much more.

Edward Howard has enjoyed innumerable benefits since joining the Council of Public Relations Firms as a founding member in 1998.  Of course we take advantage of the great industry benchmarking data and compensation studies the Council develops, and frankly, that information simply can’t be found anywhere else. But beyond the great data, the Council has been a place to meet and share best practices with other leading agency owners and leaders throughout the country. It is a place where potential clients look for agency resources through Find-A-Firm, or learn how to create a better RFP with the Council’s RFP builder. I feel so good about the work the Council has done and continues to do improve and enhance the business environment for our industry, and encourage other agency leaders to learn from and support the work of the Council.
Kathy Obert
President of Edward Howard (Cleveland) and Managing Director of Fahlgren-Mortine (Columbus)

 

The Council of PR Firms brings value to our agency on a daily basis.  Besides the wonderful business tools like the benchmarking study and RFP builder, the Council’s Find-a-Firm tool brings thousands of hits to our website every year.

For Capstrat, we've gotten new business opportunities through the Council's Find-A-Firm. In addition, the professional development for all areas of our employees and staff including our management has been a real benefit.

The Council of Public Relations gives management and leaders of PR firms an opportunity to examine all the issues that are critical to our livelihood and the continued thriving of our business.
John Seng, President, SPECTRUM


 
I love the Council of Public Relations Firms. My firm has been getting numerous new business leads through the Council. We've also been going to educational seminars for firm leaders. I would definitely join next year and the year after.
