Ann-Marie O’Sullivan, IPREX Global President, said the network is entering the year with confident momentum. “Welcoming new partners of this caliber strengthens our presence in important markets and adds depth to the expertise our partners can draw on. Each agency brings strong leadership, a willingness to collaborate and a clear point of view about how to grow. That is what keeps our network strong.”
The additions further broaden the capabilities available across IPREX and create new opportunities for partners to collaborate across services and sectors. Alexandra Mayhew, Executive Director of IPREX, said this reflects the growing depth of engagement across the network.
