PUBLIC RELATIONS NETWORK EXPANDS GLOBAL REACH WITH NEW MEMBERS FROM NORTH AND SOUTH AMERICA

Agencies from Sao Paolo and San Francisco join PRGN's global network of independent agencies

LONDON, October 13, 2005 – The Public Relations Global Network (PRGN) today announced it has expanded its global reach with the election of two new members in the Americas.

The new member agencies are S2 Integrated Communications of Sao Paulo, Brazil, and Landis Communications Inc. (LCI) of San Francisco, California. These additions bring to 32 the number of agencies affiliated through the PRGN. The new members were elected during the proceedings of the group's semi-annual gathering held last week in New York City.

"The member-agencies of PRGN are all focused on providing their clients with the excellent service and results associated with owner-operated firms," said PRGN president, Peter Sawell. "Increasing the global reach of the PRGN gives each of our members the international reach that clients increasingly require."

As the current president, Sawell of London-based Peter Sawell & Partners Ltd., said his goal is to continue to extend the network's reach, particularly in Asia and Latin America.

Formed in 1992, PRGN has over 30 member agencies in countries across North America, Europe and Asia. Agency members are independent, owner-operated public relations and communications agencies sharing expertise and resources. PRGN's Web address is www.prgn.org.
