6. DeVries PR
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 age comes experience – serious publicity chops, strategic rigor and a successful track record of disciplined account management for global marketers and iconic consumer brands. But experience is nothing without a hunger for what’s new and next. That’s why the staff at DeVries New York are ravenous consumers of pop culture, and deeply immersed in emerging media. With a relatively short client list, the agency is able to keep account staff focused on only one or two clients.
