IPREX RECRUITS DCP IN BELFAST
September 8, 2009
ATLANTA - 8 September 2009 - dcp, the award-winning public relations, strategic communication and marketing consultancy based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, has been elected a partner in IPREX, the worldwide corporation of independent public relations firms.
Founded in 1995, dcp grew organically until June 2007 when it acquired another Belfast-based PR company. dcp now has a 10-strong team which includes a former television press officer, an experienced public affairs division, specialist writers and a dynamic PR account management team.
A strategic partnership with Ion Online Marketing, widely acknowledged as the province's leading provider of digital marketing strategies, enables the firm to offer co-coordinated, integrated on-line PR and communication programmes.
Working in business-to-business, consumer, corporate and public affairs, dcp private sector clients include Tesco, the Tayto Group, who own Golden Wonder, Kelman (part of GE), firmus energy, Dekko and The National Trust.
In the public sector the firm works with bodies such as InterTradeIreland (government cross-border body), Bord Gáis (Irish Gas board), the Prince's Trust and the Youth Council for Northern Ireland.
Gwynneth Cockcroft, managing director, commented: "With the island of Ireland fast becoming one marketplace we need to be able to operate seamlessly from coast to coast. Already we have worked successfully with Walsh Public Relations in Dublin, now our IPREX partner, and we know that the kind of knowledge and experience that IPREX partners bring is vital for local companies expanding globally and for the increasing number of international companies entering our market.
"IPREX and our partners across the world provide an excellent resource into which we can tap for information, ideas, support and inspiration - so when we are implementing plans for clients, ideas could have come from Ballyclare, Belfast and Bangor or even from as far away as Hong Kong, Hawaii or Mississippi!"
The President of IPREX EMEA, Christian Hannestad (The Communications Business, Edinburgh, Scotland) welcomed dcp: "Ireland, on both sides of the border, is gaining rapidly in economic prominence, so we're delighted to be able to add a firm as influential as dcp to our expanding EMEA group."
