About DeVries
DeVries Global, headquartered in New York City, is a recently introduced international public relations micro-network with offices in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Singapore and London (late-summer 2012) that builds upon the company's longstanding heritage.

DeVries New York (formerly DeVries Public Relations) is a thoroughly modern communications agency that just happens to have been around for more than three decades.

With a relatively short client list, the agency is able to keep account staff focused on only one or two clients.
