PROI Worldwide is the longest-running partnership of public relations agencies, founded in 1970. Since then, PROI has grown to encompass 75+ partner agencies with 5,000+ PR professionals across five continents, 50 countries and 100+ cities.

Firms selected to be PROI Worldwide partners meet stringent criteria. PROI partners are usually the leading or largest independent PR firms in their markets including such major markets as England, Japan, Hong Kong, France, Germany, India, the US, Brazil, Russia and Spain. Combined, our revenues rank PROI among the PR industry's largest agency conglomerates. That gives clients access to vast resources and expertise, wherever they need it, in a high-touch, personalized service model.

PROI partner firms truly represent the PR industry's best: our agencies have earned hundreds of awards, with many recognized as Agencies of the Year in their markets and for best-in-class campaigns for clients. That spans work in consumer, energy, financial services, healthcare, technology, non-profit and virtually every other sector.
