Coast Communications, Member of the Public Relations Global Network (PRGN), Announces New Worldwide Public Relations Affiliates in Chile, Portugal and Japan

“PRGN is genuinely excited about the addition of these three accomplished public relations firms to our network,” said PRGN President David Landis.  “These firms now offer our members an even broader geographical reach on behalf of our collective client base and we welcome them into the network. While other worldwide PR networks have either succumbed to the economy or simply gone out of business, the Public Relations Global Network continues to grow and thrive. I look forward to furthering our expansion especially in Asia, South America, the Middle East and Africa.”

“Last year offered Coast Communications the opportunity to work in seven countries for the same client. This kind of coordinated trans-border communication is rapidly growing both in Europe and worldwide. It is of critical importance to Coast in Sweden and in Denmark to be a part of an exclusive global organization such as PRGN, that regularly takes new steps to grow and improve its quality”, said KG Rickhamre, founder and managing partner of Coast Communications.
