The Newmark Group, a pan-African public relations and communications agency, has obtained full membership of the Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) to enable the firm to improve its capabilities to serve customers globally.
With Newmark Group joining the network, PRGN’s membership has received a boost as the number of member agencies now stands at 54 and also helped to strengthen the network’s activities in five sub-Saharan African countries.
Gilbert Manirakiza, founder and CEO of Newmark Group, said that features such as ideas and expertise in strategy design and execution, stakeholder mapping, thought leadership, media training, and content production, make Newmark Group a formidable client partner.
According to Manirakiza, joining PRGN increases the company’s capacity to achieve its objectives because it allows it to go even further in connecting, enabling, and activating businesses to become a force for good globally.
“From inception in 2010, our profound objective has been to contribute to creating a world that promotes inclusive prosperity for everyone, where people and communities are liberated to realise their full potential and pursue their ambitions,” Manirakiza said.
The Newmark Group, founded in 2010, is a Pan-African communications and brand positioning agency that uses the power of brand trust to help companies and organisations flourish.
It develops communication strategies that enable customers to engage their stakeholder ecosystems while growing as leaders in their fields, with a presence across the African continent.
Over the last 10 years, the company has built a local agency group that regularly produces mission-critical insights, strategies, narratives, and execution.
David Fuscus, president of PRGN, described Newmark Group as one of Africa’s fastest-growing independent brand and communications consultants located in Nairobi, Kenya, with a professional presence in Nigeria and 30 other African nations.
According to him, the awarding of full PRGN membership signals the growth of PRGN into critical African markets, with the potential to reach over 1.4 billion people.
On the other hand, PRGN has roughly 800 experts in more than 70 locations and is one of the world’s biggest multinational networks of independent public relations and communications companies.
Members are independent, local, owner-operated public relations and marketing communications organisations that share experience and resources while offering customers globally with broad-based comprehensive communications strategy.
