IPRN Agencies are all about local knowledge applied to international marketing.”

The conference also provides an excellent networking opportunity, General Secretary, Jonathan Choat of Nexus Communications in the UK commented, “If we are to work together as business partners, exchanging views and often working for each other’s clients on projects, then it is important that we meet face to face with our partners and learn of their capabilities and experiences.”
